I am grateful to, & support, the brave policemen & policewomen around this country. But why are unarmed black man being shot by police time and time again, with little or no repercussions? And no Mr. President, it’s not just a “local matter.” It’s an attack on what we stand for.

Washington Post: 264 people killed by cops in 2018 -- 80% killed by cops were WHITE --- sadly, the media often only highlights the blacks killed -- media's modus operandi is to amplify/stoke racial strife washingtonpost.com/graphics/…

@realDonaldTrump doesn’t stand for anything, except himself.

I posted earlier that as some of these shootings take place in poorly lit areas, why not, along with body cams (that should be unable to turn off video or audio), outfit law enforcement with either night vision goggles or wearable, high intensity directional lighting.

I wish I could be grateful. I am not. I am disgusted at the wide spread racism that exists in the police force. This is not an isolated incident. I am sick and tired of racists being given a gun and getting away with murder all the while the justice system looks the other way.

Empirically, you surely must be aware of the answer to your own question? Young, insecure country, run by equally insecure white males, threatened by anything other than white males ...

If it's only "a few bad apples", as I would like to believe, why aren't the "good apples" aggressively denouncing the "few" who tarnish the reputation of all?
Replying to @marwilliamson
In gratitude for asking the question. We can both support law enforcement and still want justice for black men. I respect police AND still worry about my teenage son.

Did you notice that murders by ms13 are not a local matter?
