As some are fond of noting, there are a large number of unarmed white folks killed by the police as well.
They are too militarized.
Their budgets are excessive, and everyone pays for them, despite them only protecting the property of about the wealthiest 10%
They break into homes unnanounced-shoot people in their beds, then charge the survivors with resisting arrest.
They shoot motorists who are licenced concealed carry holders, excercising their second amendment rights
They brutilized members of the press throughout the protests, in spite of the fact that they SWORE AN OATH to uphold a Constitution that expressly forbids any such thing.
The corruption is too deeply ingrained. It is time to start over from scratch. Policing must be done completely differently, And police unions and departments as we know them need to cease to exist.
Cherry picked instances. The vast majority of Americans have interactions with cops that end fairly and without violence.
Fairly is subjective.
Sure, but we have these things called statistics that logical people (unlike the irrational violent extremists in BLM) use to back up our claims.
Like this report from the Bureau of Justice that shows the vast majority of interactions people have with police are street and traffic stops.
Contacts Between the Police and the Public, 2015
From that report-'Residents’ perceptions of police behavior'
"The vast majority (95%) of drivers who experienced a traffic stop indicated that police gave a reason for the stop. The primary reason police gave for pulling over a driver was speeding (41%). Most drivers stopped for speeding said the stop was legitimate (91%) and that police behaved properly (95%)."
"In comparison, 60% of residents who were stopped by police in a street stop thought the reason was legitimate, and 81% believe police behaved properly."
So yeah, like I said the vast majority of Americans see right through this BLM bullshit and don't agree with any of this defund the police nonsense. We want law & order, and we know we need our police for that.
Nearly two thirds of Americans oppose calls for defunding police departments, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll.
