I think they're saying the issue is over policing in black neighborhoods, and everything that goes with it. So these crimes will lead more convictions/policing/harsher penalties of criminals in black places because they they lack the financial resources to fight it.

So instead of solving the root cause of the issues of why crime is taking place in the black neighborhoods, the policies just put people on an endless loop of low wage and jail.

That's my take away at least.

If mostly black people in mostly black neighborhoods voluntarily provide ring camera footage, that’s not over policing.

It’s not overpolicing if there is higher rates of crime.
