I'll do you one better. Why is it when a white person kills someone it doesnt reflect on the entire white culture?NeverI worked emergency services for years and would have to do ride alongs with the cops.
The cops told me 95% of the drugs coming into the County were from black gangs in the city. One of the cops I was with pulled a car full of black guys coming in from the city. It was classic driving while black.
There were no drugs the cop could find in the car, but one of the guys had a felony arrest warrant. Score one for the cop.
The situation made me uncomfortable, but the cops know their communities and generally know who is committing the crimes.
There is a massive crime problem with blacks in America. Those are the facts and cannot be argued. To say so is not racist. Facts are not racist.
Yes....the criminal justice system is not fair....and it should be. But to imply blacks don't have a big part of the responsibility is equally ridiculous. Behavior with the cops needs to change....but also behaviors in the black community.I am an engineer and work with many black engineers who relate similar stories. They are well educated, well spoken and polite but have told me of similar treatment from cops on fishing expeditions
I have been hassled by cops...have you?
I have not been stopped in over 15 years and even then was asked for my documentation and given a warning. Black males are not given the same treatment.
Really....how do you know that?
And do blacks have any responsibility for the perception many in law enforcement and America have of them? There is a major crime problem in the black community.
Does that contribute to the problem in your opinion?
Again, how is a law abiding, well educated black man responsible for the actions of the black community?
An American has a presumption of innocence regardless of the color of his skin
Actually, there's a very simple answer for that ..... there is not a violent perception of the white culture, so when it happens, it is seen as an outlier.
Unfortunately ... there IS a perception of violence attached to the black culture, so when it happens, it's filling expectations.
Right or wrong ... that's how it is.
