Blacks also commit most of the violent crime nationwide, so it evens out.

Agreed. Maybe stop challenging them when in an interaction ? Maybe try and keep interactions to a minimum.
I'm 51 and had maybe 10-12 interactions, no record, have been drawn on twice , and was armed three of the times. And that was 10-12 interactions too many.

Stop, that means nothing.

I'd like to see pro sports collapse. I used to be a Packer fan, having grown up in Wisconsin. I stopped watching when Goodell and the NFL let Kapernick get away with flipping America the finger. I'm looking forward to seeing those semi-literate millionaire athletes burn through their money and end up living in the streets. There are a few who I'm certain have planned well and will be successful in life after pro sports, but many of those with limited skills outside of sports will not fare well.

Why are people of all other races not having these same issues with law enforcement?

Just something to ponder, and the answer has nothing to do with racist officers.

I agree. I just didn't want to put that in writing because I'm tired of being called racist for pointing out facts. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a democrat, wrote about this in 1965 and was called racist. Nothing he said in what is now called the "Moynihan Report" was untrue, but as we know, truth doesn't matter to the left and the professional race baiters like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder and others.

LA county sheriff does not wear body cams. It will be the cops' version of the event.

Now? They have been doing that since the beginning. No officer is to even try to arrest or question anyone of color. That is the end goal.

Yes, it does. Black men need to stop breaking the law and stop resisting arrest. Problem solved.

Blacks represent the vast majority of crimes, thus police encounters. That is a statistical fact.
