I agree it's not simple and the arguments that it's "because black people hate Asians", "it's wokeness", "Its just a CA and NY problem" aren't helping. That's why I even bother to post here (also because I'm stuck in hurry and wait mode again.)

From what I've heard is many of these cases are due to mental illness and that we have so many mentally ill people out on the streets is a larger problem. Another problem that I will agree with some of our other posters is that COVID lockdowns caused a lot of social disruption and we've seen a disturbing trend of teenagers doing things like this.

Like so much there isn't an easy solution. Like with the shooting in Allen, TX ideology and rhetoric from the Right is fueling bias hate. At the same time lack of LE enforcement arising from distrust of LE and poor management of cities is causing problems. This is why I will simultaneously criticize the Left for thing like Defund the Police and the Right for things like "Kung Flu" and "CHY-NA Virus".

Unfortunately too often this debate like many others is framed in Ideological terms. We see it just on this page where posters are at once saying that people are allowing bias to dictate even as they insist this is mostly about CA, NY and wokeness.

Wait...
How is more LE going to solve the problem of distrust on LE?

One of the problems following George Floyd in Minneapolis wasn’t just a distrust of LE as being abusive or corrupt but there also was a rise in crime. One of the reason was because many LEO quit. That also led to more distrust of LE as being unresponsive. Having a late get and more responsive force can increase more trust. Obviously any new LE also need to be held accountable.
