Okay, /u/NetQuarterLatte. Now do the inverse for a holistic understanding here. What is the murder rate of Black people in Jacksonville relative to the overall murder rate in New York. You are going to find what we already know, that Black Americans have it worse off everywhere.

You’re making the arguments of progressives for them, that intense efforts should be made to reduce racial inequities. Now it’s time for you to do the heavy lifting and actually advocate for the policies that are demonstrated to do this.

Alright, now that we established that there's a valid concern about crimes in NYC, I think that's where most people would inject some fear-mongering comment against "tough-on-crime". But thank you for not doing that.

What policies do you believe have been demonstrated to reduce crime victimization? Given that we are talking about the disparity of victimization here.

Glad you totally ignored the entire point of our conversation and pivoted upon realization that your stats didn’t say what you purported them to say at all.

I think now would be an appropriate time to apologize for lying about what your statistics said.

Are you saying that "concerns about crimes shouldn't be dismissed" is a lie?

>Now it’s time for you to do the heavy lifting and actually advocate for the policies that are demonstrated to do this.

I'll ask again: what policies do you believe have been demonstrated to reduce crime victimization?
