Race is a factor in all this because for one thing Black communities are more likely to be over policed and therefor Black people have a higher chance of interacting with the police in first place. But, police as a whole are the problem, they are trained to confront issues with violence and when your only tool is a hammer all your problems start looking like nails. You can diversify police forces all day and it’s not going to change this fundamental problem. There’s a lot more than I can get into in a Reddit post, but basically we need to radically reimagine public saftey

How much do you want to bet that the ven diagram between those people and the people that opposed public housing in their neighborhoods is a circle?

I think that it's simply that its easier to paint a line on the street, then invest in actual bike lane infrastructure

We are going through this too, you could try disputing the charge with your bank.
