We're not going to agree on this. Maybe we call it a glass 12% full and 88% empty situation.
My rights are protected by the same government that protects the rights of black people in the city. Those not committing crimes in the city are no less innocent, no less deserving of freedom than I am. If the government can find exceptions for taking away their rights today then there is nothing stopping the government from taking away my rights tomorrow - nothing.

The original post asked whether fewer police stops increase the number of homicides. Did you answer the question? The studies indicate that murders go up.
How many innocent black people should be killed because you don’t want to stop and frisk?
Is it better that 10 innocent people be stopped and frisked to prevent an innocent person from being killed?
And didn’t the government take away our rights during Covid? They closed churches but allowed liquor stores and Home Depot to remain open and they also allowed huge crowds to protest in the summer of 2020.
