Less minorities killed by police? What has tough on crime policies and persecuting drug users gotten cities when it comes to these sorts of things

Why do you automatically assume the dealer must be a minority? Homicide rates have gotten dramatically worse since police have gotten softer on crime the last few years. Especially for black men. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-02-22/pandemic-murder-wave-fell-most-heavily-on-young-black-men

It locks dangerous drug dealers away from the rest of us and gives addicts a chance to get help through the existing drug treatment programs in the city. Why the hell should any of us tolerate criminals? They fuck up the neighborhoods, tank property values and make life harder for normal working families.

Policing others (I.e. rEpOrTiNg a DrUg HoUsE) rarely does anything but create a reactive law enforcement presence that only perpetuates more violence. Try living here for more than a year to see the evidence of this all around you? Might help.
