But what's also unacceptable is the blanket assumption that cops are racist assholes, and thus all cops need to be sent to the re-education camp to get repaired.

The 'war on crime' harmed Detroit argument suggests that the 'war on crime' was the problem -- when most people believe that the real problem is the underlying crime that made the 'war' necessary.

Did crime harm Detroit. You bet.

Did the way crime was fought hard Detroit? Yes.

Is the best way to build trust between cops and citizens to call cops racist. No.
Spot on Wesley.
