That is your perception. This isn't 1970,ok. Maybe they are watching too much CNN, kind of like you?

Right, the bitter irony is that they claim to fear cops the most when in fact they are multitudes much more likely to be killed by someone who looks just like them. And cops are out there putting their lives on the line to protect them from those people.

DP. FWIW, according to polling, most black Americans would prefer more police presence in their neighborhoods, not less.

Most want the same presence. They don’t define same, to as me same means none. I want the same too... same in my neighborhood is none.

82% state “very confident" that local police would NOT treat them with courtesy and respect during an interaction.

They are probably just brainwashed like you pp. If you get your News from social media and cable news then you will always be a sucker, falling for the exaggerated stories you are spoon fed.

Here's the thing - and I'm not trying to be difficult here - but the police show up in my neighborhood after someone has been killed. If I felt the police were actually protecting people from being killed, that would be something to consider. But coming after the fact doesn't really help all that much.

I don’t think you are being difficult - totally agree. I don’t know a whole lot about living in a low income neighborhood of color but I do know enough to know that their lives and the choices that they face are worlds away from my experience and thus I try not to judge too harshly. I believe that we are more products of our environment than naturally virtuous.

+1. A lot of people seem to believe they know exactly how they would handle it if they were cops dealing with criminals resisting arrest. I guess it’s society’s loss that none of them joined the police force.

That's right.
