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?

Yeah, and arrest and imprison some black folks who smoke pot making it look on paper that the crime is reduced big time. I am all for reducing crime and making the country safer for everyone. I don't think policing it more is the answer though. Going to the root of the problem is a whole lot more effective in the long term. Some reforms are clearly needed.
