OLD AND BUSTED: Democracy Dies in Darkness.
The New Hotness?

UPDATE: The Washington Post ends toxic narrative that cops are hunting black men.
The fatal flaw in the Post’s project – and in the broader progressive framing of policing – is its refusal to confront the correlation between crime and police presence. The hard truth is that urban minority communities tend to have higher rates of violent crime. That’s not because of skin color. That’s because of systemic issues like broken families, failing schools and economic neglect – many of them the legacy of progressive policies, by the way.
But when crime is high, police presence follows. It must. And when police presence is high, so too is the probability of interaction, arrest, and – yes – conflict. This isn’t racism. It’s math.
The idea that this basic dynamic can be reduced to a racial morality play – black victim versus white oppressor – is not only wrong, it’s dangerous. It cultivates fear. It discourages cooperation with law enforcement. It teaches young black men that any contact with a cop is a threat to their life, instead of an opportunity for protection, resolution, or correction.
And it has consequences. In cities across America, police officers have scaled back traffic stops, foot patrols and street-level enforcement, not because they don’t care – but because they’re being watched like predators and punished like criminals for doing their jobs. That vacuum doesn’t lead to peace. It leads to unchecked violence.
Look at the statistics the media ignore: in recent years, spikes in homicide, carjackings and armed robbery have hit minority communities the hardest. Children are gunned down on their front porches. Elderly women are assaulted in broad daylight. And where are the think pieces on that? Where’s the Washington Post database for the victims of post-police America?
