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... .

What do you mean by "making policing less effective"?

>>alexil+Ym
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?

>>SamRei+kp
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.

>>psycho+Au
Less than 50%???? Ha! Try closer to 10% in Chicago. Yes I want murders solved and think there should be someone doing that job. However, the police aren't doing that so why help them with whatever it is that they are doing.

>>alexil+jw
A large issue is that people refuse to help them. How do you solve a crime if no there are witnesses willing to talk...
