Glenn Loury's pushing discussing the same narrative:

The successful delegitimization of law enforcement in the places where poor black people are being victimized daily has cost thousands of lives and has been a monumental political crime. That's the argument we're making this week at TGS. Rebuttals are welcome. pic.twitter.com/83ePrmjOUs

I noticed this article being over at the Pew site which I think is related big picture:

Covid (and resulting things like speedup in telecommuting resources in jobs) caused more people to like the idea of living in non-urban areas in a larger home with its own lot. There is growth in surburban areas WHICH REQUIRES MONEY AND A CAR or at least use of car services.This takes away taxpayers from urban area. This also causes a decline of "gentrification" in urban areas, and otherwise think what you like about gentrifiers, it's hard to deny that squeaky wheel gentrifiers interested in increasing property values will demand safety (i.e., more better policing) and will get more attention than the poor "ghetto" denizens. It's a spiral down.

It also got me thinking about how all this moving, larger homes, and use of cars is one of the causes of inflation, first starting directly with cost of cars and fuel and then trickling down to all related...and inflation most hurts those who need to spend all their income...

edit to add: it's like a monster storm as things like mob robberies and violence in luxury urban shopping areas makes the people with money to spend in such areas less and less interested in going to them unless they are the types excited by "slumming" as entertainment

Note in the third tweet where she says remember when they told us counterfeit bills didn't matter?

When Alvin Bragg took office, he expressed concern about causing "harm" to criminals and their rights.
He expressed none about harm to our citizens or our rights.

Michelle Go advocated for the sort of man who killed her, and is a tragic symbol of hard lessons so many Americans have forgotten.
Asylums weren't perfect. Jailing men - often "of color" doesn't feel good.
But neither does being stabbed to death.https://t.co/HcAAchJqZt

NYC council member representing the Bronx on "terrorizing poor neighborhoods" by shooting cops

Aware of cop shot in my district. Cop shot in leg and expected to recover. Praying for a fast recovery.
I’m hearing the suspect had a lengthy history of gun violence. Our system cannot continue to tolerate this - we cannot allow people to continue terrorizing poor neighborhoods.

"Essential workers" have a new threat and it's not Covid?

Can businesses in New York City be successfully sued for not protecting employees?
How much can retailers do to protect their employees, within the confines of the law and in the current environment? #AskTwitter https://t.co/FURL0ZOVoi pic.twitter.com/SOJKNZeOGc
— Crime in NYC (@CrimeInNYC) January 18, 2022

Practical implication: If businesses can successfully be sued for not protecting employees, then either 1) A new kind of law enforcement will evolve, or 2) Retailers will be forced to leave.
