Black Americans is your police really that bad?
Our poor history with the cops date way back to their initial conception. They were created to stop run away slaves. It is pretty bad but when you have the history we have here just as recent as the 60s, it should be easy to see why the bad is magnified.
I've been racially profiled multiple times in my life. 3 times in one hour. And a black cop spearheaded that sadly. But Just recently my ass shoulda been locked up but I had a cop kinda sympathize with me and he let me go. But overall its bad but I don't know how bad. I live in the south. I see a lot of things honestly.
So tbh we never have and never will have an overall good relationship with the cops. Until uvalde most Texans that weren't black were "back the blue". Kinda makes me angry how they mock our movement while adding coals to our fire.

Knowing your rights doesn't make it better. In fact, it can make it worse. They (the police officer) can get you for "resisting arrest" or some other bullshit trumped up cause if you argue with them. Or use you arguing as a means to put hands (or worse) on you.
*Edited to add I am not Black. I just saw you were directing those towards Black Americans, not Americans in general.

But it helps that another race can see these things so your comment is still needed
Oh man it really angers me, it feels like a waste of time being in argument you cant get out of, because the other party has
the gun and the state behind them. I am watching this and the thought you cant tell them fuck off gives me anxiety. And I am just watching this in germany.

It’s incredibly sad to see in person. I’m from the South originally and it’s insane there. It’s angering bc its fucking wrong. I’m Hispanic American and noticed its everywhere sadly. I love how progressive California is—but there are still problems here too. I think its important that everyone stands up to injustice. Only then will we start seeing a decline. When everyone has their heads in the sand because they don’t want to get involved, terribly inhumane things happen. We all have to say no, enough is enough and we won’t stand for it anymore.
Sadly, lot of that correlates to social/financial status. If a person is black and poor, it’s even worse. I lived in a state with not very many black people, but even I have seen it. Lot of discrimination and mistreatment. It probably stems from ignorance and fear.

Then there’s me… a white blonde woman that has driven around on expired license plates or a missing headlight for months without ever being pulled over. It’s sad and it’s not fair that they are harassed and profiled based on the color of their skin.
On the flip side, I have also been friends with cops who weren’t like this at all, and one was black himself.
You mean the cops missed the opportunity of chatting up a blonde woman over expired license plates and missing headlights cuz racism is more important? I call bs, lol
Yeah. I'm also good pals with a lot of law enforcement officers here. Remember, I was once in the force myself. So it would be a big laugh anyone here ever think about threatening to taking me to court like one user once did. Not a chance at winning Lolol just lol!

The police in the U.S. as an institution is systemically corrupt. It's a legacy of our history and a function of the current power structure now.
Why didn’t Obama and Biden do anything about it?

It takes more than DNC participation to turn the system. Within that, a more productive and historically founded question would be "what obstacles have prevented multiple American administrations and congresses from passing significant police reform?"click to expand
Okay, I will try again.
In your opinion, what obstacles have prevented significant police reform and what would that reform entail? Do you think racism itself can ever be eradicated from public sphere?
Maybe it also has structural causes. The training is just not long enough and subpar. Are the municipal pds doing the training as well? After 9/11 they got militarized. They should do the opposite and train them in deescalating conflicts. The fact that the states do their own thing rather than have nationwide standardisation is also not always good. That warriortraining does not make sense at all. They do need selfdefense maybe even more than they already got but warriortraining is not helpful.
Everything is just too aggressive. Might as well send them to the army and then into the streets.
American police are the worst. I can't imagine why anyone would want to pick such a cowardly career path. There is no issue with abusing power and bullying law abiding citizens. Yet they are also too cowardly to actually protect children being murdered in the other room. It's pathetic and sad. Any decent minded cop in America should be ashamed if they chose to be apart of something so disgusting and do nothing to change it for the better. I will never be able to look at the police as heros. Nowadays they are just cowards. A gang of criminals who get paid to steal money from normal civilians, and maybe stop other criminals on the side. It's such a disgrace.

Its actually the furthest thing from cowardly if they were actually doing their job

I've seen enough to know the truth. I've felt it for a long time too. I don't break the law, or do anything illegal, yet can't stand being in the same space as a cop. It's just the aura. They way they all act, and have this better then anyone else attitude. And all their gear the gun. Ready to kill at any moment. And we give that to people who aren't any better or worse then most other people. With little training, or even any type of mental evolution to tell if this person is even mentally stable enough to use a gun, or get into something intense and tackle the situation in the best way possible. It makes me nervous 100% of the time, and I'm a white male. I can only imagine what back men, or other men/ women in general have to go through. It's like being around an actual gang member. Do you want to convince me the police are my friend? Because I can tell you, they don't give a shit 99% of the time unless it's sticking up for another cop. To the police I'm either an inconvenience, or a potential paycheck. Nothing more.

Dude I empathize, even though I cannot even fathom whats that like. I get agitated just by watching american cops on youtube.
It must be extremely unpleasant and scary in real life. I was just saying, if cops were actually doing cop work, if they were actually properly selected and trained than it would not be a cowardly career. But abusing their power is cowardly as hell.

I am bingewatching ytvideos with blacks knowing their rights. They get into heated arguments over laws they know better than the cops, they even know that there is such a thing as the drivers checklist.
