It isn't just that, it is the big business pitting white middle class and white poor people against their same black counterparts. It allows everyone to ignore our slave wage society.
Play the races off of each other so they ignore the Corporate Welfare that is hurting everyone. If you have a scapegoat you can get society to ignore that those doing it are fleecing everyone.
I find it a very sick and insidious tactic by the right and libertarians to just now get around to being concerned with an over armed police force. I AGREE, but it is a direct result of lack of livable wages, combined with the right protecting the gun industry which has produced a flooded market co.mbined with big business in general protecting slave wages. The same weapons industry that sells big clips and assault riffles to the public also sells them to police.
The rich in this country pit white middle class and white poor voters against the black middle class and black poor classes. Keep enough white people in the middle class and white working poor in fear of blacks, you have just enough of the voting public to ignore the real problem
