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

I think low income areas promote violence, yes.

Are you open to the possibility that a cop would treat a black man different than he would treat a white man if all circumstances were equal? Thats the only thing I have a problem with.

And it's not like I'm just watching youtube videos to come up with this idea. Ive seen it multiple times. Racism is alive and strong in this country and its sickening.

The circumstances are not equal. These "circumstances" as you label them, do not occur in a vacuum in which skin color is the only variable.

Statistics prove time and again black males are more violent than any other demographic. That's a fact, not an opinion.

If a police officer pulls a white male over for speeding, and a black male over for speeding, statistically speaking that police officer's safety and well-being is at higher risk when pulling over the black male. Again, that is fact, not an opinion.

So no, police officers don't treat a traffic stop with a black male the same as they do a white male (equally), but that doesn't mean it's unfair as you allege given the mountain of evidence of black male violence.

Yes I will be open to it if you consider that an LEO will have a heighten sense of alert around a black male. But will you agree that statistically they have every right to be. I will give you a perfect example that I have lived: manning a check point in the sandbox who do you think would get Marines attention more, a vehicle full of contractors, a vehicle full of Arab men or vehicle with Arab women wearing full burquas and why?
