I wrote a few in a past thread:
In addition to those, I believe the solution should include what progressives used to advocate for:
- Increase trust in the police (such as having police officers that reflect the demographic of the communities, increase community relationships, etc)
- Diversion programs, summer work programs
- Stronger educational systems, better teachers (was there any insight from Teach For America?)
- Improve family stability (to address the disparity of many POC growing in a single-parent home)
But what we have today is the advocacy of approximately the opposite:
- too much denial that a problem even exists
- dissemination of distrust in the police
- weakening of schools/education (such as the exaggerated “rights” of a few students over schools/teachers and the education outcomes of the cohort)
- “celebration” of single-parenthood and weakening of parents abilities to influence their children
