Harvard professor’s research: ‘Defunding the police could cost thousands of black lives’ | The College Fix
Journalists show an ‘absolute refusal to grapple with the data,’ Roland Fryer says.
My local dps school is only a few miles from Columbine High. Yet #DPS is banning armed security. Will this makes students safer?
From the actual board resolution : " ensuring that we do not replace school resource officers with or staff our schools with the consistent presence of security armed with guns or any other law enforcement personnel."
Systemic racism is defined therein as black and Hispanic students being ticketed or arrested.

#Denver school board votes unanimously to pull police out of schools, citing "systemic racism"
The Denver school board voted unanimously this week to remove police officers from all public schools by this time next year to "fulfill its responsibility for undoing the systemic racism that Black children and children of color face."

Opinion: A humble request for those of us who believe that black lives matter
If you asked me to pinpoint the greatest problem facing America today, my all-encompassing answer to that would unequivocally be our people's inability and unwillingness to think. For whatever reason, and there are many, we no longer appear capable of thinking beneath the surface of any issue. Instead, we rage with emotion, hurling accusations and launching Twitter bombs. And it's killing us.

Potentially noteworthy survey data about #police. Headline is a little misleading as headlines after are. Equal percentages are somewhat satisfied or satisfied, presumably in contrast to somewhat dissatisfied or dissatisfied.

Monmouth University Poll shows Blacks and Whites equally satisfied with their local police departments, black satisfaction up dramatically among blacks - Crime Prevention Research Center
You would never know if from the #media, but over the last five years black satisfaction with their local police departments has soared from 50% being at least somewhat satisfied in 2015 to 72% now. The rate for other minorities has also gone up slightly from 65% to 68%. While the rate for whites has …

Interesting that even the pro-mandate spokespeople understand this is unconstitutional. Kyle here advises that we should be like Rosa Parks and only write a letter to the government or file a lawsuit. Just like Parks did.
The rule here is that not only are Denver citizens banned from buying food without a mask, the stores are obligated to forcibly remove anyone who takes off their mask.
Commentary: Mad about Denver's mask order? Fine. You're not Rosa Parks.
Denver's new mask mandate will begin May 6th without a proposed end date. It mandates masks in places like stores and public transit. There's a problematic detail.
