      No, but maybe we need to rethink policing. Sure, nothing is perfect but we can get better if we took the time to get it right. It’s probably not that hard if we can admit we all kinda want the same things.

      That’s not a conclusion supported by the facts here. What is supported by the facts is destroying the conventional wisdom that more cops means less crime.

        Yes, and there is a difference between actual crime and observed/reported for statistics crime.

      That’s like saying there will be no arrests if crime is made legal. Unlawful arrest is also a crime, which would be legal.
