A White Man named Walter Scott

Kind of distasteful.

First and foremost, its about bad policing. And policing in America is very embarrassing, like good cops covering up for bad cops, that Walter Scott incident showed us 4 cop lying on a police report. This is what American better be concerned about.

How so? It's honest

Making it about race will keep us from looking at the real problem:

1) incompetent police of the street,
2) good police will protecting bad police,
3) and police becoming less and less professional.

Law enforcement reform is long overdo.

Understandable....but it's definitely about race

Of course it is about race, until its not.

The police are getting worse, and killing a lot more people than they did 10 years ago. Also, they lead the world in police homicides and shootings. So its troubling that the police have this culture of violence.

Is it the fact that they are untouchable?

That is part of the real problem. Imagine those frat boys from the ASU or whatever frat that were singing "there'll never be a N in ASU...hang him from a tree" getting into the police academy and then getting badges. There need to be tighter screening methods. How do you know that your doctor for example is not a racist or does not hold strong racial biases? it's actually been documented that doctors give people of color weaker pain medication on the assumption that we don't feel pain as much as whites do. It's also been documented that white people have less empathy for people of color. If we're not seen as fully human, then incidents like this won't go away. Cops need to be screened so that those who may target other people will be kept from joining.

Like they really do think we're stupid out here. There are stories of white people charging cops, assaulting them, pulling weapons on them and they end up getting taken in alive. When was the last time something like that happened at the same rate with black people? White america in general assumes that we're more dangerous, more prone to violence, and feel less pain(mentally and physically). It goes back to slavery days, and it's bolstered by the fact that we react so passively to racism. White people come to expect us to be able to take injustice and not feel it as badly as other people do but at the same time they expect us to be violent. It's a zero-sum game. If we react violently to injustice, it's expected and we become recipients of violence. If we react peacefully, then it gives them the idea we don't feel pain and so they should just keep doing what they're doing.

You think a lot of these cops out here today weren't doing the same thing in high school/college?
