[QUOTE="Richard T, post: 75059061, member: 408298"] America has high crime because we have a moral problem and we are not set up for a secular government to handle it. The police do a decent job for the most part, with only a few bad apples among them. The relationship between the police and much of the public is adversarial though. There is a lack of trust and too much confrontation. The justice system is overwhelmed and the prisons are still terrible. Figures are hard to come by but I estimate some 300 blacks have died in prison from COVID. Fifty in New York for sure, dozens in some other states. States will not even provide the numbers.
