And when you promote the narrative that racist cops are killing minorities, you provoke actions from civilians that adds to that stress.

As for the media, just report the facts.  They spend like 30 seconds on facts, and then 15 minutes interjecting opinion and speculation...and when they have sometimes extreme people advocating opposite views in the interest of "presenting both sides", all it does is further polarize.  

I don't know if you realized what you said there.

It doesn't matter to me if the officer was beaten by a gang of black kids in grade school and still carries a grudge or if he is black and knows too many other blacks who are in gangs or on drugs...you treat each person as an individual.

Maybe we should start reinforcing that.
