Default Racism in the US

The recent shooting in Wisconsin just reconfirmed the need for changes in the police departments all over the country. That doesn’t mean that Blue Lives don’t matter to me. This is not a political discussion- I’m just trying to understand how/why this could have happened. Doesn’t the fact that seven officers responding to the call in the first place tell us something?

I was disgusted watching Jacob Blake, after breaking up a fight between two women, being shot seven times in the back at close range while his three sons in the car watched. How can anyone refute the fact that there’s systemic racism in this country, and the first place to start repairing it is in the police departments?
