I have refused to use the term “Somali gangs” despite tremendous pressure. Why? It’s a political narrative, not an accurate descriptor of gun violence, even if it was committed by a Somali youth. Who is driving this narrative? Republicans, the Strib, and police. Brilliant reporting below.

Remember this tweet? This is Roper from the Strib. He had already written his column on car window smashing when he met with us (at our request hours before his deadline). He’s just written another column bashing me for, among other things, being “academic” and he still doesn’t understand the data.
