Why are these talking points still regurgitated? There are absolute statistical reasons that lead to this reality.

Could underlying/historical reasons lead to some of the circumstances of the disproportionate crime rates between communities? Sure. Does that change the fact that the crime needs to be addressed? Not at all.

Of course a city with 400+ murders a year is going to see more police contact than a city that has fewer than 1 or 2.
