Some never get that opportunity, sadly.Mugwump wrote:If you are stopped by police, then engage with them politely and with respect and cooperation. If they do not do the same to you, then make a complaint later.

If I'm a one eyed collingwood supporter then necessarily I will likely miss other ways of seeing collingwood. The same applies with your response here, it's very hard for you to entertain other ways of seeing complex issues than through reductionist lenses. That is a very ideological way of seeing the world.
"White officers are significantly less likely than black officers to kill black suspects and they are not statistically significantly different from Hispanic, other race, and unknown race police officers," the study said, excepting one model where Hispanic officers were marginally more likely to kill black suspects.
But Ron Hosko, president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, said that data matters when it comes to closely examining the subject.
"I think that more studies like this, as well as the broader data-collection effort that some publications have undertaken, are going to be valuable," he said. "My fear is that the mainstream media (and nicks nutty leftists) loves to fan the supposition that these killings are by biased, rogue, racist cops."

The claim in that article about black cops being more likely than white cops to kill African-Americans is not borne out by available data, by the way:
