Unfortunately Heather Mac Donald comes at all this from the perspective of using logic and rationality, and what is going on is all about using emotion to drive a political result.

I posted the following links to some of Heather Mac Donald’s writings on this subject in the last couple days. They are very much worth reading. I believe she coined the term The Ferguson Effect, the reduction in policing that happens because police are afraid of possible fallout. The net result is less safe neighborhoods for everyone, but especially blacks.
