It's about picking and choosing stereotypes that aren't necessarily offensive.

Examples: Black guys and penis size and athleticism, Asians and intelligence, Latinos and partying, etc.

I've seen plenty of white comedians make fun of other races and ethnicities without being racist. It's not that hard.

what privileges do white men have nowadays in 2021?

Privilege isnt just the presence of advantage. Its the absence of impediment. It doesn't negate hard work or hardships. It acknowledges that your skin color wasnt a barrier to success or a source of struggle.

The movie did great for the culture. The problem is that it did not properly represent the Washington Heights neighborhood. That is a majority darker skinned Afro-latino population and the movie was like 95% light skinned latinos and none of the lead roles was for a darker skinned latino. The one black male lead was not for a latino character.

The afro-latinos are at war with the rest of the latinos I guess? They can't be happy for each others representation. :v

No, there were a ton of Afro-Latinos in the movie. What was missing was the more accurate representation of darker skinned afro-latinos that comprise the majority of the Washington Heights community.

Most of y'all don't know what an Afro-Latino is and it shows. There are plenty of light-skinned afro-latinos

"When considering approaches to police reform, its important to remember that Americans still dont report about half of major crimes and police dont solve very many of the cases that do get reported. Truly improving policing will require addressing these two gaps."

Not sure I have a simple answer for that.

Though I don't think funding public services on the basis of some sort of "success" metric has ever turned out particularly well.

https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/rsrcs/pblctns/2015-r034/index-en.aspx#polperf

Crime rates, along with the more sophisticated measure of the Crime Severity Index (Statistics Canada, 2009), are probably the oldest and the most traditional measures of the success of police work. The reasoning behind using crime rates as a measure of success is reflective of the common belief that reducing crime is a primary task of the police. Indeed, a reduction in crime rates can be an indication of the excellent work being done by the police. However, there are at least three problems with using crime rates or the Crime Severity Index as the main measure for police performance. First, the work of the police is, by far, not the only influence on crime rates. An array of factors such as levels of education, rates of poverty, the age of the local population, rates of addiction or other mental health problems, the number of transient residents, etc. influence the level of crime in a community (Gomes, 2007). Unless statistically controlled for and weighted by these and other factors, crime rates alone cannot, and should not, be used as the sole performance measure of police work.
Second, crime that is reported to and recorded by the police is heavily dependent on the processes of police departments that receive and record the report. The behaviors of police officers receiving the complaint, whether and how the complaint was recorded in the system, the departmental practices that encourage or prevent reporting, if the police services collect data on crime reported to non-police entities in their jurisdiction, or statistical reporting practices can all have a significant influence on crime rate statistics.
Finally, it is well established that not all crime is reported to the police. Victims of crime might be reluctant to report incidents to the police for a number of reasons, including fear of retaliation from the offender, embarrassment, fear of deportation in the case of immigrants, fear of secondary victimization through the interaction with the criminal justice system, thinking that the damage was not big enough or that the police would not be able to help. Regardless of the reasons for not reporting crimes to the police, unreported crime would greatly influence the true rate of crime. In this sense, it is important to use victimization surveys, such as the Victimization cycle of the General Social Survey (GSS) in Canada, to supplement the police-reported crime rate with the rate of unreported crime.
The number of arrests and fines issued are other traditional measures of police performance. Similar to crime rates, the number of arrests and fines issued by the police is a measure of performance because arresting criminals and enforcing the law by giving out fines for infractions is seen as one of the primary outcomes of police work.
Using arrest and infraction data as a primary performance measurement for police work can be problematic for several reasons. First, the definition of arrest can vary among different agencies. Various studies in the U.S., for example, show that uniformity in how police agencies define arrest is lacking, therefore making comparisons between agencies close to impossible (Sherman, 1980a; Sherman, 1980b). Second, an arrest is but one of the options for action for police officers in a difficult situation. In this sense, an arrest could be seen as a failure by a police officer to employ other strategies to resolve the situation in another manner. For example, petty crimes such a theft of small, inexpensive items in a supermarket or possession of a small amount of marijuana could result in issuance of a warning rather than an arrest. For youthful offenders, in certain cases, informal restitution arrangements or transfer to parental responsibility might also be an outcome of police involvement.

For departments, crime rates tend to be the go-to metric to determine effectiveness, despite the fact that issues well outside of a police agency's control can have a tremendous impact on crime in a given community.

This pretty much. When I was 13, our house got broken into during the day when no one was home. There were no fingerprints and no witnesses came forward. So the thieves were never caught. It was frustrating, but what else could they do with no evidence?

I think the point the article is trying to make is that all this money gets unnecessarily thrown at police with very low rates of success. Redistribution of tax money makes sense as a result.

That's not all that surprising. If someone calls and says their store was robbed, all they can really do is show up, write a report, and check any camera footage. At best there will be a grainy face of some generic person, at worst there will be nothing. Even if they HAVE a face, it might not be the right angle to compare it to mugshots, but even if it is the right angle it might not match. If they go out and try to talk to people in the surrounding area there's a good chance nobody will know or be willing to give them information, so the case is a dead end.

Given that most crimes are reported after the fact, and police aren't forensic scientists, nor would they throw that kind of budget at a crime that insurance covers, and nobody is going to give them any tips, the fact that they usually end up unsolved seems reasonable.

True. Their job isn't to protect and serve. It's to preserve the status quo.
