I blame the president and down from there for dividing the country where the thought of segregating our police by race and the areas they patrol/respond to is even given.
IMHO, what the current leadership AND previous leadership since 2008 has made race relationship in the US the worst since the 1960s.
All I do know is that I just retired since I have no faith in our system anymore since violence is on the rise and instead of dealing with it, we, as a collective, are now not even locking up hardcore criminals anymore... Point and case, the incident in Columbus, OH. The Black female, with a knife, continued her attack on another Black female... IN FRONT OF SEVERAL POLICE OFFICERS and couldn’t care less, until she was shot three times for her ultimate act of stupidity. Also, an adult Black male kicked another female on the ground, in the head... Again... IN FRONT OF SEVERAL POLICE OFFICERS.
I know that most Americans didn’t catch the biggest issue with this incident, which isn’t the shooting of a belligerent and violent 16 y/o female, it’s the lack of care or respect/fear of the law anymore... with most every urban centers, people know that the cops have been told to stand-down, which in their minds, they now have a free hand in committing all sorts of violent criminal acts... Now, in front of the cops since cops have been to told stand back and stand down during the numerous riots, which has sent many the wrong message about acting right.
Why would someone of any race willingly choose to be a cop in these areas without being paid like $150k/year?
Move somewhere safer and work in a less stressful environment. In my area cops in predominately black areas are basically forced to grovel and act all involved in community....pass.
Many black communities have been insisting on only black cops being assigned there. Fine. By the same token, only white cops would be allowed to police predominately white communities. Lets go back to the 1940s, like these liberal idiots want.
Ahh...so white cops need to be MORE racist. Yeah thats a good idea.
No. no it isnt.
It's probably inevitable. If every white cop who works in a black neighborhood is labeled a violent racist, then only those who actually are violent racists will want to work there. Good cops will quit working in those areas.
