The percent of blacks abused and killed by police is much higher than the percent of whites. Passing a counterfeit 20 does not deserve guns pulled and an execution. Policing today is equivalent to treating the citizens like enemy combatants instead helping a variety of people with multidimensional problems. You give some cops a gun and they have to show how big they are. I have law enforcement in my family and they are disgusted with the police of today. I cared for the mentally ill and drug abusers for decades and putting them in jail or under a knee until they die is not the way to do it. EVERYONE has a right to question why the cops are arresting them and every black and brown person in this country has a right to fear going anywhere with the police.
