So-called "disparities" are a red herring to distract us from the real question

If there’s one word I’m sick of hearing in the media, it’s “disparities.” Car stops…arrests…sentencing…imprisonment…police use of force…whenever there’s a slow news day, the Chronicle or KQED radio or Oaklandside or some other progressive outlet can run a panic story on disparities, and make it sound as if racism were running riot.

Pamela Price, driven by arrogance and vengeance, must go!

If Pamela Price were willing to concede that there’s some merit on the part of her critics, that might go a long way toward making us feel a little better about her as a human being. But no: instead of acknowledging that we’re worried about crime and that she is at least partly responsible, she doubles down, accusing us of being MAGA Republicans whose minds have been bought by billionaire conservative fascists.
