    Crimes aren’t getting solved because people don’t trust cops anymore.

    The issue is blaming anyone except our cops…

    And unless you haven’t noticed, cops werent the nicest to some people back in the 60s either.

    But back then cops (and our judicial system) were even more problematic.

    Sure, they were arresting people for murder, but we don’t know if they were arresting murderers. No DNA and no cell records made it harder to catch criminals, but it made it really really hard to clear an innocent person’s name.

    You can’t just look at surface numbers and take them at face value
