But what if the system isn't allowing them to do their jobs properly or due to an unrealistic expectation it is putting their lives in danger needlessly?

I wouldn't even consider being a cop in places like NYC, Chicago, Baltimore, Atlanta, etc. You have to be a masochist to be a cop in a blue state, blue city.

“Suspected”?

The shooting was on videos

That’s a valid question by him.

So why not become a cop and change the game for the better?

Btw, since when a suspect of a crime also puts his family in great danger like what Lebron James did to that cop?

That cop SAVED A LIFE of someone he doesn’t even know and all he got for thank you is a big target on him and HIS FAMILY because of an overpaid moron athlete?

When I got hired by the NYPD I was assigned to the ghetto. Most of us were. There was no choice. It is what it is.

The problem is, black cops prefer to police white or Asian neighborhoods. All cops prefer policing nice, safe neighborhoods.

If black cops were stuck policing the 'hood, with no chance of ever being transferred to safe, cushy neighborhoods, they'd complain about job discrimination.

He's lucky he didn't save a white girl. If he had shot a black girl to protect a white girl, we'd have full scale riots by now, with increased pressure to prosecute him.

If policing is supposed to be community service, then cops should only police the community where they live. They shouldn't commute to other communities to do police work. To some extent, that's how it is in LA. If you're in a Latino area, the cops are usually Latino. White areas usually have white cops and black areas usually have black cops.

I noticed that some parts of the U.S. have a different police setup. I've seen places that are mostly black, but have an all white police force. These cops probably live in all white neighborhoods, and never interact with black people outside of police work. That's a recipe for disaster.

You think big bad gangbanger black dude with an arsenal of illegal weapons and a mountain of pot and coke to deal is going to just sit down and have a nice calm chat with a social worker over a cup of tea? Seriously? Think he is going to pause before blowing the brains out the back of his rivals head to have a comfy chat about his feelings? How the hell do you idiots honestly think social workers are going to even survive entering the building of a violent thug? I seriously don’t get it.

So true!!

I can’t understand why the Left is tying to turn the clock back to the 1920s with all this BS about segregation of the races again.

The country is in some serious trouble.
