"Excuse me while I adjust my devil's advocate hat a tad...there we go
This isn't a Democrat or Republican, Right or Left, Black or White issue."
Well, yes it is. A culture has been built for decades beginning with LBJ and his Great Society and War on Poverty which has fractured the black family leaving a vacuum filled by gangs, crime and drugs, created the government plantation of welfare and ghettos, disdain for education, work, rule of law, and misdirected the anger from all the government has perpetrated into a belief in institutional racism. There is institutional racism and it is the Federal and State Governments that have continued to perpetrate LBJ's destruction. Apparently it's long forgotten the exact quote by LBJ on a plane in the presence of several witnesses with respect to what group of people would be voting Democrat for the next 100 years. Well, its been nearly 60 and counting I remember being a cop in the 60's. It was not perfect but it surely was different then than it is now because of the hatred that has grown in the Ghetto Culture that has evolved. It's a Democrat creation aided and abetted by the cowards in the Republican Party. The Socialists and Leftists and out and out Communists have capitalized on it while the blame is further directed at the business community with looting and burning. I suppose one could write a book about it if one had the courage to take all of the hatred that would be directed at the author for being a bigot and a racist rather than the exposure of the real villain.
As for Black and White issues...many black people have decided to not participate in the political genocide created by the Leftists in the D party and have become successful and usually pretty quiet about it. Unfortunately, some others have decided to use their success to fan the flames of the hatred that has been created to divide us as Americans. A good deal of white Americans who have bought into the propaganda and cultural genocide have also climbed on the wagon of hate. Subliminally these white folks hate themselves because they just can't face the destruction committed by the political institution they have supported.
There are millions and millions of white Americans who care not a whit about skin color or the other natural differences and proclivities of their fellows and yet are painted with the large brush that has been created for one purpose....to divide us. The loudest voices of accusation are actually the voices of disorder, division, hatred. Many Americans are either unwitting pawns or dupes of the hyphenization of Americans and the political scheme that has been ongoing for a long, long time.
As for the cops, they are like the rest of our society. Some are good, some are really good. Some are just disinterested.
Some are bad and some are really bad. If the social manipulators who enjoy bragging about how they are the saviors of Things Good, actually really were what they claim to be, police officers would be more carefully selected, carefully trained carefully managed, and carefully weeded out when necessary. But they do not because a 4'9" cocky, pick your race, transgender with a bad attitude must be granted xe's right to be a cop. When that cop screws up, who gets the blame? The bad cops are the result of the notion than anyone can be a cop; tall, short, black, white, brown, yellow, red, male or female or one confused about gender... and that might be true. But The Social Justice Warriors are afraid to weed out the ones who are not actually qualified to have the authority to ultimately be able to take away the freedom of another. One of the finest men I knew who was a police captain, who watched his officers with with a jaundiced eye, once told me that the the police officer's ability to take away another person's freedom is one of the most powerful responsibilities and should be the most carefully guarded. Qualified is another marker that is NOT used in today's cultural swamp. If one can't decide whether one is actually a male or female, it becomes rather difficult to decide who might make a good or bad cop.
