By and large you are correct. The real issue is those who are create a treamendous proplem. Sort of like terrorists. They don't make the majority but in spite of their numbers they certainly make terror.
At least you are smarter than most people and realize that the majority of cops are great people. But the real truth that people do not understand because they either do not care enough about this subject and just take what they hear, or do not have first hand experience dealing with the public in a similar manner as the Police is that ;
A. There is many many cops in every state (except for Flint Michigan) risking their lives on every call to go solve other peoples problems. If even a chunk of them were racist and not following the law we would hear about it every single day.
B. I'm sure that there is racist cops, but that is unavoidable. There is racist and bad people in every single group of people. There is racist dentists, teachers, gas station attendants, and so on. Can you name any career as good as law enforcement at removing those people from the hiring process? I do not think so. But of course some will slip through the cracks, some will have mental issues from PTSD that maybe make them appear bad.
C. If you look at every one of these shootings that Black Lives Matter claim to be racism by cops you will see that almost everyone of those cases the suspect was actively resisting commands or was trying to bait the cops into shooting them. So many people commit suicide by cop it is not funny. BLM should be telling people that court is where you fight the police not on the side of the street putting people in danger.
D. For the few and far between cases that have actually been investigated before the media gets a hold of them and deemed unjustified, cops are people just like you and me and they can make mistakes. Especially when you do not know how you will react being faced with a life threatening situation until it happens. And then in a split second you have to make a decision that will drastically change your life or end it. But now even if you make the right decision and that person happened to have black skin and yours happens to be white it will ruin your reputation anyway. Now you gotta go home and explain to your kids why CNN is telling them daddy is a racist murderer all while dealing with PTSD, lawyers, investigators, and feeling horribly sad for taking someones life and the family involved.
