I think you're 100% off base. We need as much transparency as humanly possible. You only see ice as a problem because it's a problem for you.
I know what a lot of black folks that are terrified of getting stopped by the police under any circumstances. Your categorizing them differently and for good reason but it's wildly misguided.
FYI, I'm not American, I'm watching from the outside.
The UK police, while they have their issues, are a lot better than American police. A lot of them also love the bodycams. They make their job a LOT easier, with far less hassle.
Our police are considerably more dangerous than yours. And all they have to do is turn off their body cams.
Unfortunately we live in completely different realities. I believe your cops are actually trained.
I mainly meant it as a goal to aim for. Police don't have to be brutish idiots.
Our police use a "police by consent" mindset, rather than a "police by force" one. Most don't even carry guns.
It certainly is, but it's not the reality we live in currently. And there are so many boot lickers that we may never get there. Anytime you say something about military spending or police spending they just seem to ratchet it up in response.
