Sometimes posters make it really easy to identify. Jus' sayin"...

And some constantly try to drive a wedge between people of all races...just sayin’

adjusted for percentage of population, that isn't even CLOSE to being true

More blacks are shot dead by blacks than are shot dead by LE and Whites
combined.

You know more than one problem can exist at the same time? Right?

Most people who are shot are shot by someone they know, so....duh.

Not only do the police do nothing about that, they actively oppose any questioning of what they do or calls for them to do better. As bad as the videos are of police brutality, I'm more struck by the responses from organized police officials in the light of day after the fact. The police are a problem and "we" aren't really doing anything about it. Instead, we're effectively bolstering and enabling the problematic misconduct when we instead focus on the accused criminals and the protesters. Much of that is a deflection.

And yes, I understand the real-world political impact vis a vis the "law and order" calls following the protests.

As to that broader point, though, isn't the statement coming out of the Milwaukee Bucks a generally reasonable one?



Law enforcement isn't going to do anything different. Law enforcement will deny responsibility and accountability, deflect, and be indifferent to actual outcomes. Heck, they might not even be aware that there is anything to be aware of. It all might be very confusing to law enforcement.

Yet another terrible and easily avoidable event. And here is some of what the police were saying immediately after.

We don't really expect better. It's not just a training issue, but a cultural one ... both in law enforcement and in our country. We don't really event want nice things because our culture has broken down.
