Notes -
One thing Kulak implied that is simply untrue is that criminals in the black community are tolerated/supported because they victimize whites. While black on white crime is certainly higher than the reverse, it isn't high compared to black on black crime. Most crime is intraracial, and the burden of black violence falls predominantly on blacks themselves. I broadly agree with him on crime but on this he's completely wrong as can easily seen from homicide statistics: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls
@raggedy_anthem is correct, a 2021 Pew poll found some differences between races on how much police should be funded but nothing major. The % who wanted funding to be decreased was 13/23/16/22 for white/black/hispanic/asian respectively. The % who wanted it increased was 49/38/46/37 respectively. The rest wanted it to stay about the same. There was a significant collapse in the defund position compared to 2020, and so I imagine a more recent poll would illustrate a continuation of that trend.
