Black and brown people just happen to bear the brunt because most police are heavily concentrated in lower-income neighborhoods which they comprise.
Statistically speaking this is where majority of the crime takes place. And it’s just not cops messing with citizens, it’s constant shootings, rapes, and other violent crime. You think it’s smart for police to concentrate on heavily white areas where there’s little to no crime? That’s like putting a cast over a cut finger and a bandaid on a broken leg…..

Simply throwing more money, more manpower, and more empty “sensitivity” training at certain departments is only going to mean instead of 7 officers casually standing around joking as an innocent person that 4 of them beat nearly to death is twitching and expiring, you’ll have 6 officers carrying out the beating, and another 10 that show up to cut up about it….
I don’t disagree. First thing, is to make cops’ salaries better to attract better candidates. No one wants to work that kind of job and get paid shite. They also need to invest heavily in training. And I mean serious training. frick all that PC woke shite. They need to develop and progress the skills necessary to do the job. They need to be training weekly, not just annually to make sure they can run a sub 13 minute mile. They should be training CQB, deescalation tactics and situational drills weekly as part of their work schedule. Whatever is relevant to the actual job. The more they train and practice, the more skills they will have, the more confidence they will have in their skillset and the less likely they will be to resort to lethal means of resolving issues when it’s not warranted. Those Memphis cops looked like a bunch of untrained thugs. There shouldn’t be any fat cops working road patrol. It’s a fricking disgrace. If you can’t maintain a half arse decent physical condition, go do something else. You have no business having that job.
And this whole “Thin Blue Line” bullshite can frick right off. You are there to serve the community, not be separated from it. Stop covering for shite bags and have a high standard for your coworkers. If cops make an honest mistake, that’s one thing. But don’t hide behind the “you don’t know what we deal with everyday” wall when one your boys decide to act like a fricking criminal.

Go back to LBJ and the Civil Rights Act and start there.
His legacy lives infamously lives in.

For sure, I remember all those racially harmonious, universally economically thriving black communities in the Jim Crow south and elsewhere.
True utopia til ole Lyndon came messing everything up…

Good Ole Democrats. Still the party of segregation today.

And they want more police presence, not less.
"Defund the police" is a left wing white disease. I'd prefer to defund government, enforcement would take care of itself.

Someone needs to create a weapon that literally wraps criminals up & they can't move.

That's not true
But with today's issues, WHY would any intelligent person want to be a Cop?

Memphis PD handled the current situation very appropriately and took swift action. There is no empirical evidence that this is anything other than an isolated incident. Yet here we are having this painted as a systematic problem.
Don't post this in the other thread. Apparently to some, every cop is trying to kill people

The actual violent incidents between cop and citizen is actually miniscule considering the sheer number of interactions.

I’m assuming the bar has been lowered significantly to get people in the door.
Same principle occurs with the military. When I was on active duty moral standards were lowered so recruiting quotas could be obtained. As OIF and OEF raged, waivers for criminal records (even low level felonies) were handed out like candy, during the surge.
With LE, they certainly overlook misdemeanor offenses for applicants simply to fill in vacant spots that are taking years to fill. The applicant pool is low enough as is, and now LE agencies have to take what they can get, within reason.

cop on the other hand, has no idea what is waiting for him/her on the other side of that car door so he/she is on full alert mode
Yeah no shite. We've all seen videos of an unsuspecting cop getting blasted by either the driver or by Paco hiding in the backseat with a loaded 9 mil. We've all seen a video of a cop giving some suspicious guy the benefit of the doubt only to get killed for it.
And guess what - cops have seen those videos too.
My father told me a long time ago what to do if I got pulled over and I never forgot it. Turn on all your lights. Don't rummage around for bullshite. Put the window down, put your hands on the steering wheel and wait for him to tell you what to do. I've been pulled over a zillion times and 100% sure I've been profiled, been asked to get out, patted down etc. Never had a violent incident. Been let off with a warning more times than not.
I don't like it but the truth is in that moment they are God over you so unless you are ready to get killed you need to shut the frick up and maximize your chances of living to bitch about it the next day.

Gaslighting at its finest. Police aren't attracted to the job because they are being sent to prison for doing their job. This country went full retard because a worthless felon junkie died of an overdose in 2020 and police officers were blamed for it. The George Floyd dumbassery and the anti-police movement that followed is the biggest reason they're having issues finding and keeping good police officers.
