I support BLMs cause but not the movement. They expect us to be allies while BLM does shit for allied movements.
That said, police brutality and justice system failures affect the poor regardless of race as race basically serves as a euphemism for class in the US.
The main problem is the hiring of recent vets and the overall militarization of the police. You can't take some racist white trash out of anwar zone and expect them to be able to adequately police a peace time population. Until this is addressed nothing will change.

last commentWe had a conversation about using veterans as Police, quite some time ago I'm not sure it might have been during the Tamir Rice incident in Cleveland, and it was pointed out by someone that veterans are less likely to be in officer involved shootings than non veterans you can google this information, you will also find that veterans are less likely to be racially biased, you don't need to take my word why don't you look this information up on your own you will be as surprised as I was.

Recent veterans have a military mindset and view themselves as an occupation force and cit8zens as potential threats. You can't take someone out if a warzone put them in such a position. Abd expect them to automatically adjust to civilian society

Why don't you look up this information it's available, you are just as closed minded as everyone else, the facts are available if you wish to be educated that's up to you.

Work on your language comprehension and don't reply when you block me. You can't have someone apply war zone strategies to a civilian population

Honestly step one is get every domestic abuser off police forces. It's one of the best indicators of both mass killers and police brutality.

When it's a white police officer and a black civilian, then it's immediately labeled racism - when it's a black officer involved then it's police brutality - there are both white, latino, and black, victims, as well as white, latino, and, black, officers, that are part of arrests that have turned tragic - it can't automatically be labeled racism b/c the victim was black since other races are also victims of brutality - I have yet to see evidence that the cop had a racist past, could be that he did, but all I have seen is a bad-cop and the victim happened to be black; all the evidence I've seen is of a bad-cop, not that Floyd was targeted for being black (after all it was the police that was called by the store owner) - the protesters decided to make all about racism vs about police brutality as if it was exclusive to black-folks which is not.

I guess there's nothing racist about calling someone "racist white trash. "

Minority cops are not exempt from racism. Whether it's internalized racism. Showing off for white cops. Or simply being racist and using their authority against others. LAPD has a high percentage of Latino officers and look at its record

As for George Floyd. The store owner is racist. He didn't want a drunk black man loitering in front of his business. He exaggerated the threat that posed and cops partially reacted on what the owner said. He ahould be investigated for his role. I read that he had a female relative also call the police stating she felt threatened
