This sounds like systemic racism to me. How can CPD target the marginalized communities for more policing? Which one of our great leaders will address this targeting of the disadvantaged?

Good point – looks like racial profiling to me.

It is, to white people. Take the cops from safer neighborhoods, whites, leaving police coverage almost nothing and then providing Cadillac police service to the ghetto. It’s all about that white privilege/supremacists thing.
