Back in the late 90’s IIRC their was a incident in CT where a cop shot a black teenage boy for riding or driving in a stolen car early in the morning. He had a fake gun on him, the cop saw it ordered it dropped and him to put his hands up. He didn’t. He was shot and later died.

Of course the mother and relatives insisted it was police brutality. Turns out it wasn’t and he learned the hard way pointing fake gun at a cop at night is a bad idea. Didn’t change the community’s mind, they still hated and distrusted the police.

Until the leaders in the black community stand up and say, “too bad, the evidence shows the police did their job correctly, you committed a crime, you nave have to deal with the consequences.” nothing will change.

Unfortunately, the likes of Al Not-2-Sharpton and Jessie Jackass and President Numbnuts get to these communities and explain that there is no money nor fame in letting the facts be exposed, so let's rake some muck and rouse some rabbles so we can all get paid!

So until THAT changes, your changes aren't going to happen either!
