Reply to comment by Own-Suit5786 in Why Police should never be defunded or devalued by the Woke! by [deleted]

Lets hope it works out just remember Umass has jurisdiction on Umass property and Amherst swells to 70,000 in the school year and many live off campus.And 2nd many students living on campus committ crime off campus and the Umass police don't have jurisdiction on Umass students unless there on campus.

"Many students living on campus commit crimes off campus." Where is that information coming from?

14000 students live on campus. Are you saying that most of those 14000 commit crimes off campus or that of the 14000 that commit crimes, most of those happen off campus? Either way where does that information come from?

Common sense ,and I didn't say all 14,000 committ crimes either only that the Umass police can't police every student

Made up facts are the best facts, aren't they?

You, sir, are no better than the Amherst students.

Obviously don't have that info,but we can speculate that the UMass population figures to Amherst crime.

That's called prejudice and is the exact reason people don't trust police.

It also makes you a liar.

Might I suggest you don't continue to try to defend police. You're doing more harm than good.

Google says UMass is 22,000 undergraduates and 2,500 grad students = 24,500 by my math.
