I agree that prosecuting police for their homicides or for killing black people is rather a new phenomenon. I have been shocked for decades about the killing of blacks by the police. It's way overdue that they be prosecuted for these murders. It's been a very very sad state of affairs what's been allowed to go down.Prosecuting "Killer Kops" is a relatively new development Win. For decades they have gotten away with killing Black men and boys, then Black women and girls. In fact these KK's (hmmmm maybe another K needs to be added) got away without even being charged. One of the most heartbreaking cases was several decades ago when a cop shot an 8 year old boy, out for a stroll with his father because he "looked like the perp"...WTF!!![]()
@rgp always makes excuses for them but I suspect that like them, he is racist. He is likely also ignorant to the many circumstances in which the victims committed no crime at all. We (Black people) are very familiar with the term "driving while Black", then there's "walking while Black", etc. and like you pointed out Win...he refuses to acknowledge certain truths. I doubt that he would care anyway. Let sh*t like this happen in his family and I bet he'd change his views. Rgp, don't bother to reply directly to me because I've got you on ignore. Not letting you get on my last nerve ever again!

I think there still are some good police who do right. I have had both good and bad experiences with them. One cop protected me while my car was broke down in rush hour traffic. Another cop shot at me and nearly blew my head off when I was a teenager. I was a passenger in a car and will not go into the details. I have seen how they use too much force.
Anyhow just wanted to say I understand.
