      Well you are right to some extent. Poverty does go into account when it comes to police interaction. But you are wrong to say that race does not matter. Police misconduct disproportionatley affects Black males when adjusted for population. But with that being said the media does the country a great diservice by mainly focusing on the over policing of black Americans this shit effects all of us. If they would report on incidents that effect white Americans we would see a shift in the publics opinion om policing.By the way what ended up happening to you and your brother?

      Police Departments have to much authority and jurisdiction. This was a topic of discussion in my criminology class, if we restructured the way police do their jobs less crime would happen. Furthermore, if we had more Departamental initiatives within the departments which solely focused on civil disobedience, domestic consultations, and community engagement their jobs would be less stressful and dramatically more safe. Just my thoughts.

      Actually its an example of "outsourcing" by bureaucrats, to save a few bucks, so they can put that money in their own pockets instead.
      My city's police department pays more then double what my county's sheriff office does (and it shows). My city doesn't outsource to the county for the primary reason of QUALITY. If you want to get shot dead for a routine call, then by all means call the sheriff's office.
      However my city is happy to pay the extra money for a quality police department, that serves and protects... and NOT intimidate and harass. As a general rule, you get what you pay for. Quality employees result in quality service. Cheap employees result in poor results.

      I wonder if any of those cops ever stopped to think about how the fines they were giving out cancelled a days work or more for an ordinary person, before they were looking at the fear of unemployment that is!

      Trying to make it normal American thought to defund police . This is easy to see but I am 60 have seen a lot pc is the dumbest thing that is all part off the new world order . Liberals that r running this you know who signs your check . Well that's not who your working for . It's sad you don't know you r a slave and you don't know to who because this is spiritual .

People like YOU supported the police who fired 137 bullets into two UNARMED citizens, who murdered 14 year old Jordan Edwards. Believed and supported Amber Guyger. There was no way she DIDN'T think she was in her own apt. And that FIRE DOOR WAS ''ajar".
