Dumbest reporting ever. Not racism, but watch as they casually avoid talking about violent behaviour instead.

I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this, but the opening part of your show today reminds me that there were once people who were referred to as Oreos.

A black man dies, all the officers were black, in a city with a majority black population, with majority black politicians, a majority black police department, with mostly black command staff, and it's because of systemic racism... It's 🤡 like this who can't be taken seriously.

Perhaps but the main issue seems to be that the police may have relaxed their standards for hiring, and possibly hired candidates with a history of priors that increased the risk of violence. All of this scenario may have happened as a result of a desire to defund the police. 🧐
