If Blacks were as afraid of the police as some folks claim, then they wouldn’t commit nearly as much crime as they do.

Why is it blacks reserve their criticism for white police when decades of affirmative action has garaunteed that police forces across the land employee minority LEOs in at least the same proportions as in the general population?

In my NE City - every time there’s a drive-by shooting, or “youths” pummeling some resident for the money, etc... The news always interview the local folk in the neighborhood (mainly black) - all complaining about how they don’t see police often enough.

Bwaahaaahaaa!

That why they call 911 when their fast food order is wrong or KFC runs out of fried chicken on special sale or somebody steals their dope?

Thanks, I feel so much better knowing they trust the police.

I don’t believe the contributing factor to disparate levels of trust in law enforcement are rooted in skin color so much as individual criminal behavior and the accompanying guilt when encountering a law enforcement officer.

Blacks are not a monolithic group:

This bears repeating. My next door neighbor is great guy who fits none of the stereotypes. He's a hard working single dad who is raising 4 polite, well mannered boys and goes out of his way to help his neighbors. I doubt Jesse and Al speak for him.

[baddog 219]

there is evidence that blacks trust police at least as much as whites do.

Who says I trust cops?
