Not my problem, I don't live there nor can I vote there.
Everyone knows where the patrol cuts will come and that will be the poorer neighborhoods. They may even brand it as "less intrusive" and wrap it up with a bow on top as if it's done to "combat racism".
In reality, those are just the parts of the city with no money to contribute, no political power so that is where the city will be able to get away with it.
But hey, feel free to vote for another mayor....who will do the exact same things.
All the major cities do after these incidents is say nice words, launch some ineffectual programs that don't cost too much money and do some photo ops with "community leaders" and NAACP officials etc. Then those leaders and officials will be on boards, hired as consultants...their spouses will get city contracts....as long as they play ball.
