The problem with those who are woke is that their natural empathy and sympathy, which are good qualities, lead them into absurd positions that they don’t recognize the absurdity and the unintended consequences of.
A case in point would be the spate of unjustified police killing of blacks. The woke response was to call for a reduction in police forces around the country. But this just meant that black communities were less protected, as there were fewer cops on the beat and those on the beat tended to shy away from the black section, so black communities actually were subject to even more violence and considerably less protection.
The rational response would have been an increase in the number of police, but with black recruits so that police forces would be less lily white.
Time and again, the knee-jerk woke reaction is to call for absurd responses with terrible consequences.
