Hi all, I find this discussion odd. I live in a Black neighborhood in Brooklyn. There have been very large protests here against police racism and violence. People opposed such attitudes and practices. But my neighbors want policing because there is gang violence (including some shooting deaths), theft, and other crime in the neighborhood. I have found the to be common attitudes in Black and Latino neighborhoods for years, though the anger and police racism and violence is greater now.
