One of the most comprehensive takedowns I've seen. I'm surprised that they had the balls to publish it, but they'll probably be forced to retract it after inevitable outrage over siding with logic over hate, so archive it now

Though they also want improved quality of policing, the percentage of Black respondents in a 2015 Gallup poll who wanted more police in their community was more than twice as high as the percentage of white respondents who said the same. Activists who seek to disband police departments will have to explain to these law-abiding residents that they will in essence just have to fend for themselves.

A reduced police presence in minority neighborhoods will claim more Black lives. When officers back off of proactive policing under accusations of racism, violence shoots up. That was the case in cities recently examined by Harvard economists. After investigations opened up into a media-grabbing instance of police use of deadly force in Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, Ferguson, Missouri, and Riverside, California, there were almost 900 excess homicides and almost 34,000 excess felonies, their study found

I not quite sure what it is about her, but she is the most liberal looking "conservative" woman I've ever seen.

No shite, had to do a double take when reading the article & who published it. Excellent facts & stats in that article, used it to shut down a spouting liberal @ 4th party that wouldn’t shut running their mouth. Pathetic people they are, acted like scolded 6 year olds the rest of the night.

Solid piece, too bad it will be scrubbed and apologized for once the rest of the media gets wind that USA Today broke ranks.

She's been on a Fox a few times of late and my first reaction was; "What is this this old liberal bag about?"

That the prototypical look.

She's a guest on FOX occasionally. She's pretty adamant with her opinion on diversity - the failure of it.

No reasonable person ever believed this nonsense, but leftists are trying to use it as an excuse to attack and create chaos. As long as this stays in dim party run cities I can't get too upset. It's what they deserve.

wow- and consider the source.

Further proof this anti-police BS is just an excuse for a war on the working class.
