end the beyond disastrous war on drugs, and use the police to police actual crime against others.
legalize drugs since their being illegal hasn't helped one bit, and is the main root of blacks' disliking the police.
the drug problem and inner city gang problem got exponentially worse with the war on people for whom alcohol wasn't their drug of choice.
take policing personal behavior all day every day off the table, and start policing crimes against others instead.
take away the financial incentive for gangs to exist, and the gangs largely go away as well.
this isn't rocket science, and it's not like we haven't been through this same problem before with alcohol prohibition.
problem is, the pubs have gone so far down this rabbit hole for so long now, that they see admitting the failure of it all as losing face and admitting being wrong, which they see as a far bigger problem than out of control gangs and violence, busting at the seams prisons, and the drug problem increasing 100 times over since day one of the war on it's own citizen for their personal behavior.
and like Trump saw covid as much less a problem once he found out blacks were dying in higher numbers than whites, pubs in general see fixing the total disaster that the drug war has inflicted on inner cities, and blacks in general with traffic stops as fishing expiditions, as not worth fixing since it's not so much in their back yard.
