i'm very interested in how a neighborhood can just decline police "protection". Many black neighhorhoods would love to know what this process entails.

They are not declining, just not reporting crimes, and yes, it happens in black neighborhoods all of the time.

I live around a lot of people who think and behave this way. These people are not actors. The only explanation that I have as for why seemingly normal people have become this way is because of media, echo chambers, and a desire for attention. The most aggressive progressives see themselves as part of a moral crusade, and homogeneous mainstream media reinforces that. There are a lot of people, albeit a minority, who will read the article and think that the attitude and response of those interviewed are reasonable.

I especially adore the fellow who regrets calling police on the guys who held him up, demanding his car keys, at gunpoint; his reason?
It may've put them in danger. He would've "lost my car but so what...at least no one would have gotten killed".

This is simply beyond belief. I cannot wait to see how this rolls out. OMG I hope MORE communities take this "will not call police", vow. As long as it doesn't happen by me. They deserve everything they get as a result of their misguided attempt to...what? Aid criminals?
This is DANGEROUS. This will lull thugs into assuming that every white person will do the same. More attempts will be made to mug whites and many will end up getting the thug killed.

Maybe they shouldn't lock their doors either. Seems like an arbitrary barrier between us and them. Not really fair at all---locks.

This is one of the most insane things I have ever read. The whole time I thought it was satire. It must be satire. It was definitely funny.

I was thinking the same thing. Like with CHOP--when someone dies, the liberal social experiment is over.

I've often wondered what kind of people raised these white 20 something nut jobs out there "peacefully protesting". I think I have my answer.
