I always remember the comment of a police officer, talking about crime. He was asked why he only patrol black areas of a city, He answered, "because that's where the crime is". I know my fellow Caucasians, none wear halos. But the cop's comment is you find a black, you find crime does lead to oppression of blacks, who aren't involved with crime. The police have a mind set. Probably since blacks are so often arrested for drug related offenses. No, I don't think every cop is a hooded, white supremacist, but you have ask why are so many blacks protesting bad cop behavior? What do they get about protesting? There's no money in it, you're not going to get a more lenient sentence, if you break the law........
How do you know blacks don't have a legitimate gripe about the police?
Maybe if your skin wasn't white, you could answer that? What do our fellow black SF people have to say?
