I am Amanda Seals.

My next claim is that black on black crime is a result of underinvestment and overpolicing.

And so I think one of the- Can I put a pin right there and ask you a question?

Ask me whatever you like.

Now, much of the reason why you may see more numbers in terms of black-on-black crime are for two reasons.

One, the statistics be lying all the time.

We have seen this... What numbers?

Okay, so you're...
