I dont believe that. But I believe when a cop is needed at a situation,80% of the time a white man would be treated more fairly than a black man in the same situation. If you dont think that black people are treated unfairly then we're so far apart that we will never come to a middleground.

I'm open to this idea. Are you open to the possibility that blacks are less likely to comply making the cops fear for their lives more thus becoming more volatile in the situation?

do you think it's from prior conduct or experiences the police have had with blacks? have you been an officer before? Every been to funeral of a dead cop? I have...and he was shot but a white kid on probation....who was afraid of going to jail, so he murdered my friend and brother in Christ.

I have a niece who works in Miami as an officer. She is cuban, her work partner is hispanic...

they took a video of a recent call, they had this huge black man following them, cursing and intimidating them "get the f-out of here" the entire time they were there...she said it was all they could do to remain calm and try to ignore this guy while they did their job.

I mean the hood is a rough spot for anyone to be in...poor whites live in country, poor blacks in the city. I don't know brother, I just know you can't expect people not to be human based on past experiences.

it's a two way street...

Until people conduct themselves respectfully around police, it's not going to change, police profiling will roll on because the profile is alive and well

See, there's the problem. You believe something that is statistically untrue or unverifiable. Statistics show that cops kill white people more than blacks, per capita. Also, here's a nifty little chart to contemplate.
