You’re just blame-shifting.
There wouldn’t be an increased presence of cops if there weren’t an increase in crime first.
“You’re just blame-shifting.

Could it be that there is an increase in crime because there is an increase in what the law defines as a crime? And a financial incentive for the cops to bust people? Such as the war on drugs? And no I’m not blame shifting, just pointing out the dynamics that have caused it. Also, I don’t believe that there is an increased police presence in these “hoods”, cops don’t like to hang out in areas where the local population takes pot shots at them (got to live to see that gold plated pension after all). This is about losing the “hearts and minds” battle for the populations that you police and it’s been an abject failure IMHO. But if you want to stick your head in the sand and hope it all goes away then good luck but more of the same isn’t going to work any better than it already has.
