We have often been asked why black people don’t seem to get as motivated to protest by street crime as they do by police abuse. We think it should be self-evident that it is peculiarly cruel and unacceptable to be targeted as innocent civilians by the very public officials who are paid to protect us. But if you are from a demographic group that is not targeted by police and can’t understand that rationale, then you should at least appreciate the bitter wisdom of Donnitta Turner and Aigner Elam: people on the street often know who commits street crimes, but they are afraid to tell the police what they know.
