I actually think this was a price we paid for some of the stop and frisk police work. It did reduce crime, but at a cost to justice for the innocents arrested, killed, and bothered.

So it’s important to plan police not to eliminate crime, but to reduce crime as much as possible given liberties. There’s probably some optimal frontier to it, but I don’t want to trade tyranny for crime.

What will be interesting is whether these higher murders had some trade offs elsewhere. I would like to see some research that all those fewer arrests also did something positive.

I don’t think there’s many accidental/unjustified police shootings of civilians but I would guess those went way down.
