The Staten Island and that precinct elected to permanently station a squad car right on that spot, right next to the park.
And the neighborhood, I think, was roughly a 60-40 split in favor of the police being there because there were...
fewer fights there were fewer disturbances the there were fewer robberies at the uh of the stores in the in the neighborhood um and that's generally what you'll hear in poor neighborhoods if you talk to people there there is there are people who are very anti-police in the projects but there are also people who are very uh frightened and see crime as a bigger problem it's only people who live
who go to elite universities and live in very rich neighborhoods and don't spend time in those places, who think that police abolition is this idea that's going to be universally embraced by the poor, or prison abolition for that matter.
They just have no real life experience and that is very typical of this type of person.
Yeah, I mean, again, these are sort of niche political ideas.
I understand people talking about it maybe in a common room of a dorm at Columbia or Cornell or someplace like that.
But the ordinary person is going to have a tough time swallowing...
so to speak, publicly funded transitions in places like prisons or even, you know, to bring up a more serious issue, housing biological males in women's prisons, which is something the ACLU as well as the DSA favors.
You know, we had that decision by the Supreme Court yesterday striking down or at least allowing states to bar
participation of biological men in women's sports.
But there was a while there, and these DSA pseudo-intellectuals are all for this, where it was basically verboten for people in the media to use the term biological sex or biological male, or to say that there were two sexes.
Biologist Colin Wright
was essentially kicked out of academics for saying that sex is binary.
And this is not popular either, right?
I mean, it's one thing to advocate for rights for people and to advocate against, say, housing discrimination or, you know,
health insurance discrimination, any of those things.
But it's very different to demand a complete rejection of, say, science and, you know, physical or biological reality.
Yeah, and assigned male at birth is just factually incorrect.
I understand that's movement speak, but media organizations and, you know, I was in traditional media during the period when we first started to be policed about the language that we can use.
