Number 1, more whites than blacks get killed by cops every year. The media pushes a false narrative and people run with it. Young black males between the ages of 13-45 make up like 3 % of our population and commit 50% of the murders. Now that is worthy of protest. The media constantly pushes a one sided narrative as if they want a race war. I'm far from racist but I will never be PC. Violence from anyone is wrong. There are obviously some bad cops, it sounds like they also kill whites too. Most of these deaths have been justified. "Hands up don't shoot", that was all made up and a proven fake. People also never wait for facts to come out! I know that there have been some blacks murdered by cops, just as there has had to of been some whites. It's not this major issue that it's made out to be though.

I've been beaten by cops, falsely accused, wrongfully convicted and jailed several times ( you read that right) for something someone else did, I had no knowledge or any involvement in any way. I know all cops aren't bad. I understand however how the black community would feel that way when the media is constantly pushing the narrative just for ratings. It's pathetic. I don't think anyone should be treated the way I was no matter what race they are. I also don't think there should be a double standard when it comes to race. White kids are killed every day by black cops, Hispanic kids by white cops it just goes on and on. The media won't report any of these stories. Morgan Freeman said it best when he said "Racism will not go away talking about it. It will go away when we stop talking about it". He went on to say "I'm going to stop calling you a white man, and I'll ask that you stop calling me a black man". Of course there will still be idiots on all sides, but the sooner we start treating each other as humans rather than races the better off everyone will be.
