Answering Black Communities' Calls for the Cops
with Heather Mac Donald
Critics of efforts to police crime in black neighborhoods need to be reminded of a couple things: the victims of crime in black neighborhoods are also black. And often, the calls for more and better policing come from those same black residents who are being victimized by a small but troubling minority of their neighbors. In this clip from my conversation with Heather Mac Donald, we talk about the mistaken idea that more policing would be bad for high-crime African American neighborhoods.

Communists try to divide people to gain power. When we were in the Soviet Union in 1981 they piped propaganda into hotels for western visitors about the horrible racism in the US. It is no coincidence that the BLM movement and groups inciting riots are communists. They want to cause mass breakdown of order. Anyone contributing to BLM is aiding and abetting the breakdown of order, Unfortunately in today’s world we have too many leaders afraid of being called racist for speaking the truth. How courageous of Prof. Loury and Heather MacDonald to discuss issues with data and facts.
Of course that’s true. Everyone knows it’s true. Discourse has become so petulant and fraught that we’re wrapped up in arguing obvious points, screaming into the ether and taking NO action.
