I've shared on here (many times) before, how Black communities making the intelligent and well informed decision to not trust the police, makes solving homicides almost impossible.
Because without the community's help, you can't catch murderers, and murderers are the ones doing all the murdering.🤷🏿♂️
You can make the murder rate go down, just by showing Black communities that cops are not here to prey on them and extract wealth from them.
You can make the murder rate go up, just by reminding Black communities that no, cops are absolutely here to prey on them and extract wealth from them.

You all know full well that there is no world in which Taylor Swift's house is broken into by home invaders while she's performing at the Grammys, and Travis Kelce empties a clip at them, and the cops bring drug dogs to the house to find Taylor's edibles and send her to jail.
After emptying his clip, Travis Kelce would have no concern dialing 911. He would fully expect the police to show up and be helpful.
He wouldn't even remove a bong from a coffee table before opening the door🤷🏿♂️
Because the experience that white folk and Black folk can expect from cops is different
Let's talk ICE.
ICE is now arresting women that seek help at shelters. This discourages women from seeking help.
ICE arrests women at hospital emergency rooms. This discourages injured women from getting life saving care.
ICE is using local cops to make arrests. This discourages calling 911.
If you've understood this thread so far, you will see that the rate of calls to 911 from undocumented people is going to go down.
Then the murder rate amongst undocumented people, is going to go up.
By their actions, cops have *increased* the murder rate amongst a population.🤦🏿♂️
