So your saying that a Police Officer just walks up to a black person and kills them without any cause or infraction from the black person?
That is your opinion, why because it does not fit into your narrative.... :ho:

I have not walked in their shoes, but have tried to imagine what it is like. I do appreciate what they do for us for that reason, but I also see far too many bad apples. Much of it is due to poor training, and some if it is just people who should be in another job. I do think they are in the minority, but they still need to be weeded out. Police Unions seem to be part of the problem in that all too often they protect these bad apples. Corporate America doesn't run like that - bad performers gets fired.
My hope is training would say when someone is handcuffed and clearly not a threat, you don't lean on their neck for 8+ minutes redendering them unconscious. Or when an unarmed man is running away from you, shooting them in the back is not the way to take them down. I hope we can agree on that. This is how things escalate, and the police should be masters at DE-escalation especially when it's clear how to do that.
The original post seems to be looking for a reaction. There are murders every day, so why is this one singled out? Is it because of the word black?? Racism comes in many forms, and I'm pointing out what it looks like when it starts out - it didn't take long for this entire discussion to devolve into issues with BLM and killing them without a trial. Sounds like an era long ago which seems to have been given a new life.
