There are bad officers; there are racist officers. There a people wearing badges that are so physically unfit for duty that they may have a heart attack while Im typing this.

But you are not conditioned, in any way, to be hyper-aggressive or to disproportionately target black folks. It is in no curriculum, no manual, no unwritten code.

I do not doubt that some departments, more than others, have been infiltrated by racists or power-hungry shitbags who want to treat others as subhuman.

I know that needs to be fixed. However, it is not systemic corruption. You need to look at this issue on departmental levels; NYPD and LAPD operate differently than any other agency in the US. Dallas Fort-Worth, different operations.

Its too complex of an issue and too disconnected of a system to say, hey, these institutions are inherently racist.
