Alpha's solution? Don't be black in public.
What's your solution Brian? If you guys came up with something more than Derp racism are bad I might be able to support you.
Better training for police that includes more than just teaching them how to kill people. Teaching them how to deal with the mentally ill is one good step forward. Getting rid of the racist cops is another good step (the FBI has known for sometime that local police forces have been intentionally infiltrated by racist groups). Homogenizing training across the US is another good step. Body cameras being used and not abused is another good step. And perhaps most importantly, recognizing the systemic problems in society at large that promote inequality and culling them. Such as the unequal funding of schools in areas with large minority populations.

A community constantly under the thread of racist policing, won't possess the respect for police that you and they feel they deserve. Respect is earned, not merely given. So no, you don't acknowledge the real problems nor do you acknowledge that racist policing can't lead to legitimate policing. You need to mature your arguments.
So men are 95% of deaths because sexist policing is the problem?
You keep ignoring this fact which blows away your simplistic stats argument.
That is a straw man of what I actually said. Men being killed because of the perception of them being a larger and more significant threat is still NOT the topic at hand. This men's rights bullshit is another topic entirely.
