Right, and this a problem I've mentioned. Wherever there is the ability or need to arbitrate, then the stereotypes that an officer operates on will lead to that. And it's not only white cops, right? My understanding is that black cops also preferentially detain or harass black civilians-- so they have the same stereotypes in play.

I don't know what the solution to that is. I'd imagine that outraged civilians with guns or a couple torched police stations might make people think twice.

I have no doubt that there's a great deal of racial prejudice in much of the south, and probably everywhere. Certainly, I can say that Asian countries explicitly and unapologetically look down on black people.

Handouts handouts handouts.
I'd rather make it an entitlement of citizenship, and bundle it with clearly-outline responsibilities.

Imagine that..and not a single farthing taken from anyone.
Don't you dare agree with me. I've been saying this for many pages. Angry
