Yeah, no. Those "elements" kill a lot more innocent people than each other. They also rob, rape and terrorize. So this whole "less cops" thing is idiotic.
What is more of them doing since D.A.R.E. was a thing? The violent crime rates are rising all across America now.
Statistical wise you are more likely to be shot by a cop than those ones that ROB, RAPE, AND TERRORIZE.
Wait you mean criminals or cops?
