[QUOTE="Not Mike Brown's Sock, post: 1034312, member: 72041"] He still had a warrant out for his arrest regardless, I don't think you can make an argument for his pulling over being unjustified based on the info we currently have available. See this is the thing with BLM and their manifesto - something like the end of the nuclear family is statistically going to make the crime rate higher and thus the amount of black people who have negative interactions with police higher as well - it suggests that they don't actually give a **** about the experiences of the people they pretend to root for and are more focused on buying mansions for themselves. As happened this week. I absolutely acknowledge that over the past century, plenty of policies have led to the racial demographics that we have in regards to poverty today - which is why I said in my first post that there are issues with race in the US, but that I dont think the police force is systemically racist. Absolutely I think all of those issues you mentioned need looking at and it needs to be worked out how to actually adress them properly - it's undeniably an issue (the call back for white applicants is 10% whilst for black applicants it's about 6.66%) whilst prison sentences are about 10% longer on average for the same crime I believe. The US justice system needs serious reform across the board, and there are obviously still lots of racist HR people kicking about, but that is different from saying the police are systemically racist.
