[QUOTE="trekrok, post: 3567806, member: 6668"] I'll admit that I have a bias in favor of LEOs, generally. When I see a headline, "Cop shoots yet another black man", I'll admit I'm skeptical. I don't read that headline and think automatically that it's yet another example of a bad cop. I want the details. LEOs have an incredibly hard job and I feel like they are now expected to make almost perfect decisions in literally, split seconds. The environment we're in right now will result in a purging of good cops, in my opinion. I think 'How can we prevent police shootings?" is a good question and useful. To present it as a racism issue is a false narrative and unhelpful. The percentage of Blacks AND Whites shot by police are almost perfectly correlated to the amount of violent crime committed. Has nothing to do with race. Now, why does one group commit more crime than the other is another question entirely. Then we open up the discussion to schools, poverty, family structure and so on. A lot more complex than cops hate black people narrative. [/QUOTE]
