Index Police 2020 Protests and Riots

The LAPD is about 44% white non-Hispanic. It's likely that Hispanics and blacks are responsible for at least a portion of whatever "brutality" occurs. NYC, Baltimore...same situation and one conveniently left out of the narrative.

Yes, police brutality and misconduct knows no racial lines.

The majority of cops probably abhor what happened to Lloyd. It makes their jobs much harder.

The fact that it crosses racial lines and might even be more not less common among non-white officers suggests the environments these officers work in is a major factor. That's not something the freedom brigades want to hear but it is what it is.

Enough to think it's a pandemic, or should I say, endemic.

And how much would that be?

Seems to me there are incidents, so deal with the incidents.

Yesterday the LA PD Chief was talking about how things have improved since Watts, how blacks and Hispanics have come up in the ranks, how they've worked with the justice system and the community to investigate and prosecute cases of police brutality and misconduct, and, sure, they need to improve, but they're trying.

I suggest listening to them rather than some tenuous list of a couple dozen possible incidents.

Well, as long as the government official says things are getting better, then it must be true.
