tople makes the shootings of black people subject of more scrutiny. It is hard for black people to accept that law enforcement officers can be racists in some areas but not others.
----Police officers have made the public more suspicious by their habit of lying to protect other officers who mess up. We all know about the "blue wall" and that makes it hard to believe a police officers version of a shooting. It is like catching a girlfriend cheating on you. Once she gets busted once, like the police in the Laquan McDonald video, it is hard to trust her ever again.
So while I can understand police complaining about every shooting of a black person getting too much media attention they have to realize that some of their own practices are too blame.
Captain broad brush strikes again.
