>>35527>It happens more often to black peopleMaybe because black people commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime, and are thus more likely to have encounters with the police? Combine that with the "fuck da police" mentality prevalent in poor black communities and what do you expect?
>American police essentially being trained to think of black people as dangerous/criminals due to their being black.Are police trained to think of black people as dangerous/criminal, or do they come to form this association through experience? I deliver furniture and appliances, and like the police, I deal with a broad cross-section of the public in my job. It's a fact that in any such job, you will develop certain prejudices, because you will notice patterns that differentiate segments of society. When delivering to black areas, I always collect the fee up front before even opening the back of my truck. Not all, or even most black people give me issues with payment, but 90% of people who do are black, and I've been burned too often to ignore that.
