Keeping it Real: CHP Supports San Bernardino Police. Is it Warranted?

sewilliams by sewilliams December 3, 2024December 3, 2024

California Governor Gavin Newsom has deployed a team of CHP officers to San Bernardino to address the city’s high crime rates and gun violence, while also announcing the largest investment on record to combat organized retail crime in CA history.

Economists associated with California’s Reparations Task Force have weighed in on the dilemma regarding the type of compensation as well how to determine eligibility for the descendents. They are looking at what is being described as “harms,” across five broad areas. They include such seminal actions as the taking of property, the devaluation of Black-owned businesses, housing discrimination and homelessness, mass incarceration and over-policing, and health.
