Please talk to some Black people before dismissing the psychological impact of having Feds running around the neighborhood hemming people up en masse.

Shhhh. Let them lie to themselves and cling to their guns. It's going to be like watching microwave popcorn when they start going off.

Quit beating the Hornet's Nest with a baseball bat GOP. You will get fatally stung. The black inner city youth where I live shoot up everything for fun. No fear. Anyone can be a target because their fate is the same.

Of course if you have a cordial relationship with feds that might explain not knowing many Black people.

Yep. As one study eg found… “most Black respondents lived in fear of the police killing them and hurting their family members. Approximately half of Black respondents preferred to be robbed or burglarized than to have unprovoked contact with officers.” onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Plots showing the “Association of Race and Fear of the Police. The baseline model only includes sex and age. The other two models include controls for sex, age, education, income, employment status, marital status, parental status, partisan identification, political ideology, religious identification, religiosity, fear of crime, urbanicity, and region. All models are estimated with linear regression and robust standard errors. Marginal effects are shown.”

Literally exactly what I think about when I hear that the "crime rate" is dropping in all major cities. Yeah, turns out there's gonna be a drop in folks willing to call when Officer Friendly turns out to be a Nazi Storm Trooper that shoots your dog and arrests anybody within eyesight.

Exactly. It’s not a distraction. It is a continuation of the racist harassment of POC, with Black people as the model. It is a feature, not a bug.

I mean... I agree that people need to ask the people who's ass is on the line. But, and I'm saying this as a very white guy, if you can't undestand what that means just instinctively; how fucking horrifying that shit is especially given history, then there is something wrong with your heart.

I lived in Minneapolis during the response to George Floyd’s murder. When the 3rd precinct burned and there was constant occupation of the mostly white neighborhood south of it, there was noticeable white terror and flight

I know how it affected blacks voting in the 2000 presidential election in FL. Police cars were parked at predominantly black polling places. No sirens, but lights flashing, so many stayed away. I personally knew 3 people whose pages were missing, so they couldn’t vote.

I was in Georgia and saw two disabled elderly black men told to "come back" in a few hours when someone could help them vote. They pointed to the cop cars parked across the street from the polling place to make their point.
