Cops prefer high income areas because the crime rate is lower, which makes the job easier. I doubt black cops care about being in an Asian or white neighborhood specifically. I think they mainly care about the income level of the neighborhood they serve.
former deputy with LASD here.
You do realize special teams (gang or narc task force/suppression/unit/bureau) within LAPD or LASD or any police agency is actually a PROMOTION and cops have to COMPETE to get in, right? Those guys often spend most of their time in low-income gang-infested area to do their thing. If cops "prefer" low crime area to make their job easier, then why are they rushing in and competing for special teams like that?
But please do tell us about your vast LE experience
It doesn't even matter what the race of the cop is who is involved in using "excessive force" in a situation where the perp is resisting arrest or not following orders... the media will spin the narrative to be anti-cop no matter what and hide the race of the cop if he's black, implying that they are not.
I wouldn't be a cop for what they make per hour, which is less than what I make. $20/hour is hardly a living wage these days with asset inflation driving up the cost of everything. Eventually people are going to figure this out and demand raises or quit. Thanks Federal Reserve.
I think if people could spend a day in a cop's shoes they'd realize why cops often lose it after a few years on the job, with the treatment they receive from the general public combined with in what my opinion is substandard pay.
Urban areas don't even need to be policed. Everyone knows that it is just propaganda that these places are any more dangerous than a typical suburb. This is where the reimagine policing originates from. Social workers mental health experts are really what is needed. But then the paradoxes who's going to enforce all the regulations that the legislature constantly turns out? That is why I think we need a separate police force. Enforce regulations and the other to say come on let's talk this out on the couch.
White cops should refuse to patrol predominately black areas
That way no white cop will have to do his duty and shoot a black criminal. The problem is solved.
Clearly this is in response to the recent Chauvin trial where a police officer was held accountable for killing a citizen during an arrest for a non-violent misdemeanor alleged offense.
So what you learned from this American tragedy is a police officer's duty is to shoot black people when arresting them for a non-violent crime? Your white superiority and total ignorance of policing is showing. And it is totally out of line with the thinking and sworn duty of the thousands and thousands of hard working, dedicated and law abiding police who do protect and serve the American people.
“The officers knew what was happening — one intentionally caused it, and the others failed to prevent it,” Chief Arradondo said during his trial testimony. This Minneapolis police chief also reminded the courtroom, and everyone watching the world over, that police officers have a duty to care even when arresting someone.
If officers, including the chief of police, are saying that what Chauvin did was wrong — swearing under oath that it was wrong — it only adds to what civil rights activists and justice movements have been saying all along: Holding bad officers accountable is the only way that we begin to reform policing.
We must, in these United States, beyond the case of Floyd, start examining accountability, criminal justice and much needed police reform. We can't keep finding ourselves here, fighting for justice in the death of another unarmed citizen who never should have died at the hands of an institution sworn to protect and serve.
And dumb threads, such as this one, clearly are meant to increase racial tensions & problems rather than be a part of any solution & meaningful much needed criminal justice and policing reform, that will benefit all Americans regardless of their skin color or political affiliation.

Reason: spelling correction
Bus man did, when he asked me how well I would do if I was in their shoes. The insinuation is that cops screw up because they are being recorded by angry mobs.
40 million plus police interactions in any given year and less than 20 unarmed black people shot by police. In almost every case, as a result of not complying, having another weapon or reaching for something, yet, here we are, demonizing the entire policing system.
It's time to stand up to this nonsense. Don't be afraid to speak the truth.
This isn't a disclaimer, because I believe cops do a great job as a whole, but where there needs to be additional training, I'm all for it. But, don't tell me a dog is a cat and expect me to believe it.
Stop trying to destroy the greatest country in the world's existence. Instead, just leave.
Whether from black, white or other neighborhoods, police don't need to respond to reports of fights. Let them settle their disputes on their own.
And if they'd done so here, we'd have at least one person stabbed to death. Lot to be said for letting the violent neighborhoods kill each other off. Helps the gene pool, right?

I took it to be a comment on the shooting of the black girl attempting to murder another black girl before the white officer stopped the murder.
But lots of white couples get into violent disputes and don't appreciate intervention from the police.
And???
I think any white women about to have a knife plunged into her neck would be happy to have the police intervene. Don't you.
If the dead criminal didn't want the Cops to come, perhaps she shouldn't have asked them to swing by.
