Your understanding that mistrust in the police is a major driver in street violence is backed by evidence.

Distrust in the police is a stronger factor than poverty (2.6x stronger) on teenagers committing first-time violence offenses.

But whatever dispute those kids had with the business owner, I don't see how breaking a security camera is a step towards solving anything, and how that ex-cop chasing the kids with a gun helped.

He should've called the police instead of trying to solve matters with his own hands. But at least the kids called the police on him!
