the cycle, has to be broken at some point. Its gotten to be a point where wearing the uniform, vest, and shield.. Not to sound like someone who is worshiped but it is true and a vicious cycle. BLM was stemmed from the Eric Gardner incident, which was in my back yard, so to speak. You aren't taught to say "a person of color is going to do something" It it learned. It is at the dinner table, it is with your inner circle of friends, it is said among who you have a beer with and do your cross fit with.
Love the joke about the crazy cousin, I'm at the BLM part, about half way through, and getting a bit uneasy, because they aren't an armed group, generally speaking. OK, watched the rest, and I think he makes a good point, which is (I think) people who aren't running the system have more in common with each other than the people who are, and they ("We, The People") should work together.

His premise is flawed.
First, blacks are killed by police in proportion with the amount of interactions they have with police. Of the ones killed by police, VERY few are unjustified. And of those most times the officer is arrested and can be sent to prison.
Secondly, studies have shown that police are more hesitant to shoot a black person vs. a white person.
So the police aren't unaccountable isn't a true statement.
