Just don't say they don't racially profile when we know they do. I'll give you an example. I still haven't registered my car this year. My birthday is in November. Cops don't look at my licence plate. Why? Because I'm a white guy driving around. No way a black man could get away with not having current registration on his vehicle in my town. Cops would use it as a reason to pull them over.
Ok we are really not that far apart here, so let me try to clarify some things. The point of my Black Deaths Matters threads is to bring attention to something I have seen all my life that just should not exist in America. The inner cities are quite literally factories for misery. Why is that? Well for one the majority of the kids in the inner cities are raised in broken homes with absentee Fathers. The illegal drug industry preys on the kids and promotes gangs since that his their main vehicle for selling drugs. The gangs fight with each other which is the leading cause of inner city murders. The Democrats who control the cities don't care one bit because they are getting their 90% Black voting block so they do nothing to improve conditions.
Those are the CAUSES of inner city Hell.
Now I agree that Cops have a role in the problems, but they are not the CAUSE of the violence. They are there to try and stop the violence that is already occurring. 99 percent of the time they do a good job, but sometimes things go wrong and they make mistakes in the heat of the moment and THAT is what gets all the publicity. That is not fair IMO. I do think Cops could and should do less random stops. I also think they need much more effective non-lethal weapons to control situations. I don't think it's right to shoot a Black man running from an arrest. Let him go, you have his car and he won't get far. But right now Cops have an impossible job and are getting shit on from the President all the way down to the local news.
