I don't like liars.

Neither do I.

Then don't be one. I am done with you. You disgust me.

A large sector of the police go into the profession for all the wrong reasons they want to dominate bully and rule over. Those desires are amplified in some police academies. What they don't want to do is investigate and form relationships in the community. That is hard intellectual work.
I think the cops should be paid a lot more and we should be much more selective in who we allow to be a police officer. The training should be extensive. In the end it would be nice if we could attach real prestige to this profession just like any other professional but until the cops stopped their bullying domineering alienating ways it's not going to happen.

So it's true I can only see this on half a screen for some reason but I really tried to find the part where they explained anything except the fact that they thought the books were cooked (quite possible in th e80's) and they recooked them, fairly of course. I found an overall death toll of 32,000 which seems about right given current well known rates of 1,000-1,100 per yera. 95% of those are armed and 99% plus are resisting.
I wanted to see the part where they might say it's racist because 40% of the deaths are blacks. BUT..... 40 percent of the crimes are committed by blacks and 40 % of police contacts. Basically solid research, to include I believe FBI data bears that out.
You can't get killed by the police if you aren't stopped by the police and if you don't committ crimes your police contact potential drops
Brown people (Hispanics anyway) committ considerably less crime and get killed less than black people.

Police officers are authority figures, and their words have historically held more weight than the average citizen. But videos from several recent incidents, and countless others from over the years, have shown what many black Americans have long maintained: that police officers lie.

Here’s why experts say some police officers falsify reports and statements, and why the problem persists.
