Good job democrats...
But the most important BLM demand is the first: "end 'broken windows' policing." The evidence is that this is already happening -- at the cost of black lives.
Even The New York Times has noticed. So far this year, murders are up 76 percent in Milwaukee, 60 percent in St. Louis, 56 percent in Baltimore and 44 percent in Washington, D.C.
While murders are up, arrests are down. There is, as Manhattan Institute scholar Heather Mac Donald writes, a "reluctance to act (that) is affecting police departments across the country, as virtually every tool in an officer's tool chest -- from traffic stops to public-order maintenance -- is vilified as racist."
