Why are we not addressing WHY certain cops are targeting certain groups? Maybe there is a rational reason for it. Maybe these certain groups commit more crimes? Why are there no more focus on WHY the cops are targeting these groups and how to fix the original cause for certain cops to act that way?

A better question is why do some perps get shot and others not?

Being male I don't really want to be profiled as a rapist just because the vast majority of rapists are male.

It's my understanding that the DOJ is going to require police departments to now keep statistics on questionable shootings.

and tell us; which cops are targeting what groups? Let me ask you; why do certain groups think killing cops is a cool thing to do?

If she'd just stop provoking him, he could be the loving father and husband he had always aspired to be. Why does she have to make him hurt her?

In my experience, cops target non cops.

And then there are the cases of, if she'd not began stabbing him with a knife, he wouldn't have had to defend himself.

There are good cops and bad. Get over it.

That's what happens when you give 100k+ government agents guns and tell them to go looking for suspicious behavior with vague and subjective guidelines as what a threat is which can be responded to with deadly force.

The morons keep looking at individual events or searching for patterns instead of addressing the root problem.

Actually, it's too boring. All of this has been hashed and re-hashed in numerous threads.

I swear, C-D needs "Racist Rants" forum.
