One simple solution would have been to have two cops in the cruiser.
A video recording of events probably would have stopped this matter from going past stage one.
Black cops in black neighborhoods, and then it wouldn’t matter, so far as the rabble rousers go. Even though it would be black vs establishment, it would still be black on black, and that’s not an important issue.
Another solution is for cops to quit serving racially hostile areas where they are obviously not appreciated nor wanted. Let inner city plantations solve their own problems. The federal government supports them. Let the federal government provide everything for them.
I don’t have nearly the same faith in videos as many fokks, but I think they can be more useful than not.
People see what they want to see. To this day there are folks that insist a video of a plane smashing into the WTC clearly doesn’t show a plane.
I think so, too. If Wilson had had a partner riding with him, things might have turned out very different. I wonder if even the "gentle giant" would have thought twice about taking on TWO cops.

I’m pretty sure it’s been done before. L.A. Rampart division.
Ever seen the movie “Training Day”? Maybe a little exaggerated. But not much.
yep
