50% of black Americans agree that MORE police are needed on the street, according to a 2020 study. [1]

To campaign for their reduction is to campaign against the interests of black people. In fact, it sounds incredibly racist to suggest black people can't decide this and their voice needs to be trampled upon.

can you show me where in my post I was talking about black americans or explain why its relevant to my post? Or even the parent post I responded to?

I'm just pointing out the racism of the suggestion. But if you don't support it then it's no problem.

No one is talking about race? All races are affected by over policing.

Why do you think you can decide what black communities need more than the majority of black people? They want more police. You are advocating for them to get less, against their wishes, no?
