SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT: 

MORE COPS, LESS CRIME IN BLACK AREAS – OVERNIGHT.  It's unlikely that you'll see this on CNN or MSNBC.  But you can be a sinner here.  From College Fix:   A team of criminologists has found that every 10 to 17 new cops added by a city police department can be expected to save one black person from being murdered.  The researchers looked at 242 cities over a 38-year period and concluded “that each additional police officer hired abates between 0.06 and 0.1 homicides.”  “Although the total reduction in homicide is roughly equal across Black and white victims, the decline in homicide is twice as large for Black victims in per capita terms,” the team said. Researchers on the project include Professor Benjamin Hansen of the University of Oregon, Emily Weisburst of UCLA and Aaron Chalfin at the University of Pennsylvania.  A draft of the criminology research paper is available here and the paper has been accepted by American Economic Review: Insights for publication soon. It first came out as a working paper in December 2020 and has since been accepted for publication.   Watch the trendy left ignore this and try to bury it.  It insults the party line and sounds like TRUMP!!!  But I'll bet most African Americans accept it.
