But what's your point
Blacks are inherently more violent?
Blacks are more uncivilized?
Help me out here?
What exactly is your point?
just asking a question! don't shoot the messenger for God's sake!
Unfounded fear.
It's a bit like (example not to scale) a guy who is terrified of swimming in the ocean because he is scared of sharks. But he's perfectly comfortable on the drive to the besch.
This is statistically speaking totally illogical - because your statistcal likelyhood of being killed by a shark is dwarfed by the likelyhood of you dying in a car wreck on the way to the beach.
Sure there are asshole cops who hate blacks - I can relate.
I rode motorcycles - with long hair and beard and the usual scruffy biker type apparel for years - back when it wasn't as mainstream as it is today - and got hassled by cops who hated bikers. I had cops do a fast u-turn to pull me over when I was obeying all traffic rules. DYB - driving while biker. I spent a weekend in jail in California for absolutely no reason at all. (My one time in jail) I get it.
I have been refused service in resuraunts and denied hotel accomodations - simply because of how I look.
I get it.
But it didn't make me fear cops. Assholes are everywhere in society. They aren't all cops.

From my observations - in Michigan - we see shooting daily - but it never makes national news. Unless it is a cop. Then it's "a story".
What am I missing?
Why does it matter?
Cops are still racist.
Not that that matters if God doesn't care about racism. It's still a fact that cops are racist, though.
Especially the black ones - right?
