And the feeling is reciprocated?
Interesting how the whole hands up/can’t breathe movement turns the problem of urban crime onto its head.
yet they would complain if they were all removed.
I have zero confidence in urban blacks..
100% GUILTY?.. no.. about 97%..
I’m white and, for the most part, if I see ‘Police’ on a car behind mine I’m concerned. If I see “Sheriff” I’m less concerned. If I see a Wyoming state trooper I’m usually not worried at all.
And what about the reverse? Police confidence in blacks.
I am not surprised that law abiding blacks living in high crime areas would have low confidence in police.
The solution is the police need to arrest more criminals.
So? I have no faith in the DOJ and Homeland Security.
Tell me once again what is wrong with America and why people in the flyover states are responsible for that???
On the other hand, something like 40% of urban blacks are convicted felons
Urban blacks also are the ones murdering other blacks at roughly a ratio of 49:1, versus other people killing blacks.
Apparently not a stat they care much about. They certainly don’t react to those 49 black on black murders anywhere near the one non-black who may be defending themselves from the 1 black killed.
Urban blacks are largely feral. The rest of the people don’t want to be near them or have anything to do with them. With very good reason. Their proclivity towards violence and assault and theft, and looking at others trying to stir up trouble, being the main reasons.
And the rest of us have zero confidence in urban Blacks.
Looters and arsonists have 99% confidence in them doing their specialties in their own neighborhoods.
Here’s a statistic for ya’:
Young black men: 3% of the population. 50% of the murders.
It is pretty obvious that the police have a higher confidence level of getting shot, deemed racist, or accused of racial profiling when they respond to that “urban” area. The fact that they respond at all into that no-win situation says legion about the general dedication of the LEOs. Remember the riots in Cincinnati? The police were damned if they responded and damned if they did not, the only difference being that if they did not respond, they were pretty sure they could go home after their shift.
I would have low confidence in them if they kept arresting me.
The blacks in my city say they don’t trust the police, they don’t like the police, and they want city government to send more police to their neighborhoods because crime is too high. (But they don’t say all three at the same time.)
Give us another few years.....
I wonder what would happen if the headline was “U.S. and Police Have Little Faith in Urban Blacks”.
