Are the police unions at fault for protecting people they know to be racist?
Of course we can do better .... for heaven's sake ... let's just say it.

When you look at a stat regarding unarmed killed by the police, try to imagine how many arrests are made in any given hour in this country. Also take into consideration how many police are killed or injured in the line of duty and tell me how that does not put a lot of stress on their job and performance. At night or even in the day, a resisting person may be beating the life out of a lone officer of the law and shot in self defense. At night, someone being approached by a police officer in suspicious circumstances may be reaching for a phone and the officer might shoot thinking that he is protecting himself. When looking at stats regarding "unarmed" deaths, do some research and see how many of the officers were found at fault after the investigation.
Police are NOT the enemy, no matter what some try to make you think. No matter how much diversity training they get, a police contact with some are construed as "racist" and the same contact with others is deemed just proper police procedure.
