Imagine if you had a room mate who you had caught stealing from you or a girlfriend who had cheated.  After that you would always suspect your room mate whenever something went missing and you would not believe your girlfriend if you saw her out with another man she claimed was "just her friend".

Now imagine that you had also caught the friends of your room mate and girlfriend lying to protect them.  Even now there are still law enforcement officers who will claim that police never use racial profiling in spite of all the documented cases.  How can minorities trust law enforcement when this is still happening?

This is why minorities suspect race has something to do with all of these recent killings/cover ups by law enforcement.

And what about the police who have to deal with the 13% of a specific population that is involved with a hugely disproportionate amount of violent crime and murder compared to the rest of the Country?  You don't think that is going to have something to do with the way they think, act and profile?

Some self awareness and accountability can go a long way.  I guess it's just easier to blame someone else.
