But he begged me.”<p>Notice that while average white parents might worry about criminals before letting their kids out on the street, the black parents worry (with good reason) about the police.<p>(Just to spell it out: this is why so many BLM activists feel comfortable saying &quot;abolish the police&quot; or &quot;defund the police&quot;, because from their point of view the police are the people most likely to assault or kill them or their children on the street, more so than random criminals)<p>&gt; “Young teens or pre-teens of color were handcuffed, arrested, or held at gunpoint while participating in age-appropriate activities such as running, playing with friends, high-fiving, sitting on a stoop, or carrying a backpack.”<p>This is child abuse.
