Good article in the Wall Street Journal, behind a paywall alas, but if you can access it, an eye opening article by Heather MacDonald

Includes this gem,

"a police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer " [edit: removed emphasis] I think you have to put yourself in their shoes, the cops, to get some answers about why things are the way they are.

And this war on cops has large elements of suspect political agenda, if you ask me.

What would you say the time black males spend with other black males compared to time spent engaging with police? 98% or more of the time? That's a big factor. About a hundred thousand police in the US, and black males are in the millions.

And it's not just the one time they kill a black person that would be aggravating to a population. According to this article, Minneapolis police were 7 times more likely to use force against blacks.

According to other studies, Blacks more often get harsher sentences than the same white gets for the same crime and history.

More facts needed here. Are blacks committing more crime? And subjectively, what does/would bodycam video show about how the blacks are interacting. I have met a few blacks that admit they hate cops. I am talking white-collar types.

The reason cops get this way needs to be studied.

Those bodycams can help police defend their actions when they're doing the right thing. It's the first thing I'd be checking to see if it's in good working order.

thanks

The Feds got involved with the brutality case, why not here? Or did they?

The book just got published; I used to live in Prince George's county [yep!] and I think I 'll buy this book.

I've heard a lot of stories about PG County cops
As the black neighborhoods in DC stretched into PG County, the stories got worse and worse
Just sucks Victor got away with murder
I stay in touch with the old neighborhood friends that also knew Victor and also knew him as an officer. I only knew him as a kid but I heard the stories of him being an abusive cop.
We have no doubt Howard County Police covered up a murder.
Really sucks. So shocking. They found my father dead in his state vehicle. He cut his wrist. So obvious. He was actually writing while he was dying. he also wrote many notes prior to the act to me, my mother, his fellow geologists, his mother and Ayn Rand. Open and shut. The detective decided due to the facts he had to investigate.
Yet a kid that accuses the police of brutality and is found hanging from a baseball backstop with no note is deemed not worthy of an investigation.
It stinks. Howard County cops suck. They treated my family like shit during the investigation of my father.

BLM calls for defunding the police.

That's right, if you are one of the people that pledges support to BLM, you are supporting a group that wants to get rid of police entirely!

Just think about that.

This is what they really are after.

Yep, and that terapined dude says "I am BLM"

It's very sad that he supports a hate group like BLM. 🙄
