I talked to a young man.
Well, I mean, police, I mean, you can see the research.
I encourage you to look at the research to see what portion of crimes police even solve.
You know, I mean, police aren't actually, I don't know if this comes as a newsflash, people, police aren't that good at preventing crime.
Ask people in Uvalde what police present.
There was 400 police officers there.
Police show up after the crime
And police are also not involved in getting to the root of the policies, right?
So they sort of, you know, it's interesting because police as a constituency tend to be overwhelmingly conservative.
So the policies that would actually address the roots of the problems in our communities, they're on the wrong side of that.
And then they show up after the crimes have happened.
Now, again, I'm not trying to say that we don't, you know, there aren't people who...
who want to help, but we need to be real.
Let's talk about what happened at that Sutter Ave train stop.
Who's safer as a result of that?
I personally would not, but I don't blame someone.
If you feel unsafe and feel threatened, you have to do whatever you want to do.
But that doesn't mean that we can't dream of something better when we don't have to have and work toward, not just dream.
There are people working towards things that are better.
I mean, the real question that I will pose back to you is, what can the family of that person who got shot by the NYPD on the train while just standing there, what can they do?
