So-called Black Lives Matter costs black lives by making policing less effective. The "Ferguson Effect" has been documented. Recent headline: "104 shot, 14 fatally, over Father’s Day weekend in Chicago" https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2020/6/20/21297470/chicag... .

He means policing that results in increased homicide rates and reduced homicide clearance rates.

Don't you want to solve crimes and put murderers in jail? And scare others away from delinquency?

Ha! Police in the U.S. are hilariously bad at solving crimes. Even murders are solved at less than a 50% rate in many cities.

I don't find that hilarious. Anyway, if you have a “no snitch culture” you can't expect the police to have an easy time at finding the perpetrator.
