Yep.
Cops also have no sense of the communities they work in as in the past, I think personal interaction is practically nil at this point.
Sure, that has a big part.
But now, to flip to the other side. What have black communities done to embrace the aspect of personal interaction?
I don't think a #blacklivesmatter banner is the right way to go about it.
There is fault on both sides. One is getting brutalized, the other lacks empathy because the divide gets worsened by continued segregation.
Of course, now black men feel OMG, I am gonna get killed if I get pulled over. Meanwhile, Nelson Muntz is scared of the angry movement that has been building since Trayvon Martin was slain.
There is no simple solution.
What I don't think is exactly helping matters is the #blacklivesmatter movement. That just continues to drive a wedge and that dumbshit redneck cop is not going to be swayed.
I think we should already understand by now that black people have been oppressed by authorities. I mean seriously, do we really need continued rallies and marches to describe the self-evident? How about starting more dialogue. How about one guy step up and do more than play the victim card. We already know the crime and who it was committed against.
I would like one influential black leader to concentrate on the global problem, not just perpetuating victimization which probably is pretty clear by now.
This whole thing is enflamed and frankly, there is nobody concerned enough, influential enough or even smart enough to address that issue head on.
