Here in Minneapolis I’m seeing the same pattern with the new ‘abolish the police’ movement. The split is more by age than by race from what I can see.
It’s the young people who have been indoctrinated by our public schools and universities that are the most in favor of abolishing the police. Older blacks tend to want more police protecting them, not less.
If you think back you'll recall that Osama Obama himself once observed that "the Cambridge police acted stupidly".
Well,Cambridge is not only the home of this nation's elite and influential (when they're not "summering" on Martha's Vineyard) but it's also home to a rather large,and "financially challenged",minority community.
Perhaps the City of Cambridge would want to abolish *their* police department and,in so doing,achieve nirvana.
