YES:

Although the “professional black people” on CNN, etc. are, frankly, execrable on this stuff, they’re just modern day minstrels playing up to a woke white audience. Their views don’t reflect those of actual black communities, who all evidence suggests support Trump’s effort to increase policing. And they should, since they will be the chief beneficiaries. Everyone, black, white, or whatever, deserves public spaces that are clean and safe, and the vast majority want those. The loser journalist/pundit class (but I repeat myself) has distorted discussion on this issue for pretty much my whole lifetime and needs to sit down and shut up.

Democrats would like nothing better than to turn this into a broad-brush black vs. white issue, but it’s really an issue on which the multiracial working-class coalition that is now the GOP has every reason to stand united against the predators and grifters on the left.
