Are we surprised?Â* And, it is getting worse since Floyd's death
since the public has turned against police.

The police evidently cause all the problems.Â* Easy to prove.Â* Have
ALL the police take a week off and see how the crime rate goes down.
It will become know as Peace Week.


Have the police take a week off from harassing people that are a
different color. Or maybe a lifetime. Then they might be a little more
successful in getting the cooperation of the people.

When every interaction with police might mean your undeserved death,
it is hard to be of any help to them.


That works both ways.Â* Sure, there are racist cops.Â* There are also
people trying to get away with crime and resisting.Â* Much of the problem
is brought on by the perpetrators so you have to separate that part out
and blame them.

If you want toÂ* see crime statistics, google Table 43.Â* I did it for you

Also, check out www.heyjackass.com to see how Chicago is doing.


The fact is that people of color are stopped, harassed, and often
murdered by police solely because of their color, especially if they are
driving a nice car. Those people are terrified of being unjustly messed
with. It even happens to Republican Senators.

How many white people have to have "the talk" with their kids about police?
