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.
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?

Not doubting any of that, but both sides have to work to fix it.Â* No
different that when your kids give you attitude, you dig in.Â* Does
not matter what color you are, don't give the cops **** just because.

Yes, my kids learned how to talk to cops and what to do if stopped.

You do KNOW it is not the same thing????

It can be but if you start off with "WTF you stopping me for?" it may
go down hill from there, no matter your color.

You ASSUME that that is the way all these cases happen! Peaple are
ending up dead after being stopped for an air freshener hanging from
their mirror. And you must be able to figure out that not everyone
mouths off to the cops. They are terrified of getting hauled out of the
car and getting beat or shot. So they ask what they did, and end up
dead. Is this the America YOU want to live in?

No, I assume nothing but it does happen. I'm not saying all police
are good and there are not racist ones at all.

What I am saying, it goes BOTH ways. Most of these problems are easily
stopped and prevented by the perpetrator.

When Live PD was on did you ever watch it? Both black and white people
often escalated the situation on their own. I also know a few cops and
they will tell you the same thing, a simple stop can get out of hand if
the perp wants it to.

Keep in mind, the black crime rate is double too so they put themselves
into the situations more often. Look at the statistics on Table 43.
