>"It's very difficult to find the right balance between supporting families and being present, and reaching out with services and support behind closed doors, rather than running in front of cameras — that actually retraumatizes and elevates experiences that families don't want to live through ever again"

That's is Wu's opinion - clearly the community feels differently.

>I see one quote from one person, not "the black community" that she very obviously isn't ignoring. Nice try though

So we need to get every single black person's opinion on how Wu is handling public safety in their communities before we can make any conclusions? Rev. Eugene Rivers is clearly a leader in the community and infinitely more connected with its residents than you are. It is wildly inappropriate (and borderline paternalistic) to think you know better than a community leader.

The fact is Wu drastically underperformed among the Black community compared to Marty Walsh (let alone Janey) - that is not conjecture. Even in her city councilor days, the Black community did not feel like Wu advocated for or represented them:

>Walsh’s support is strongest in Roxbury, Mattapan, Hyde Park and Dorchester neighborhoods generally to the west of Dorchester Avenue, where 54 percent of respondents said they’d likely support him and just 16 percent said they’d likely support Wu.

The fact is the black community at large feels ignored by Wu. You can't hand wave this away and tell them how they "should feel".
