White cops should refuse to patrol predominately black areas (crime rates, politician, elect)

An officer gathers testimony and determines probable cause then a DA decides whether to prosecute charges and a plea of guilty or a court conviction following a criminal trial determines criminality and nothing else.

A criminal can be any color but the cop is going to be treated differently when he deals with a black criminal, so the opinion you're responding to is not racially prejudiced by definition, or at least no more so than the woke narrative that unfortunately defines the context right now. You could've refuted the opinion without calling him a racist, but calling him a racist is a powerful debating tool since it marginalizes both the opinion and the person giving it without having to even explain your case.

There's a valid discussion to be had about the role of the police when they encounter a crime in progress that is likely to result in someone's grievous injury or death. We'll never have an honest discussion about it while it's mired in the racial narrative though. People will make rash judgements based on tribe and faction and will not even be honest with themselves.

You seem to have a chip on your shoulder. I was pointing out that your experiences are not because you are not white. People of all colors get falsely accused and get harassed by the police. You use your experience and say its because you are a POC, yet the same kind of things happen to white people every day.

One of the interesting things: Word on the street says that black neighborhoods prefer white cops to black ones. Figure that one out!

So when violence does occur between those breaking the law and the police they can be outraged and declare racism.

That way no white cop will have to do his duty and shoot a black criminal. The problem is solved.

And what problem would that be? Desegregation?
Go and sit in the back of the bus, eh? Problem solved.

Good luck with that. It would seem there arent so many black individuals that aspire to be police officers or they would already have black officers in black communities.

The articles also addressed competence stating 30% of the black applicants don't pass the written exam while another percentage cant pass the drug test and criminal background check.

I'm shocked this hasn't happened already. Just strike already.

No. no it isnt.

White cops are already racist because ALL white people are automatically racist by default -- this is an actual tenet of BLM, e.g. that all whites are racist.

Do you have anything to back that up? And why do you want black officers to have to work in black communities?

I already linked three articles that back that up.
To have to. You make that sound like its a very bad thing.
Why do you want white officers to have to work in black communities when they "are all racist and want to shoot innocent up standing citizens".

All Racist I'm not in step with such a claim; ALBEIT- Biased, Ignorant, Immature, unwarranted entitlement.

Each prove more accurate.
