Reply to comment by drpvn in What to Know Now That the N.Y.P.D. Is on Amazon’s Neighborhood Watch App by k1lk1

For this article it seems like they just went to all the organizations that don’t like policing for a quote. If someone’s clearly on video doing a crime, what’s the problem?

Donna Lieberman saying this “effectively deputizes” private citizens . . . . No, asking people to call in tips and making video clips available for police to look at is not “deputizing” anyone.

The countries where citizens are too afraid or jaded to bother reporting a crime are...a bit different than here.

I think they're saying the issue is over policing in black neighborhoods, and everything that goes with it. So these crimes will lead more convictions/policing/harsher penalties of criminals in black places because they they lack the financial resources to fight it.

So instead of solving the root cause of the issues of why crime is taking place in the black neighborhoods, the policies just put people on an endless loop of low wage and jail.

That's my take away at least.

If mostly black people in mostly black neighborhoods voluntarily provide ring camera footage, that’s not over policing.

It’s not overpolicing if there is higher rates of crime.

Imagine reading the article and not critically comprehending what it's major points were. This was not one of the three to four major points. Do better searching for your own narrative

Imagine criticizing someone about critical reading and not even knowing the difference between its and it’s.
