I support the police also but not the few percent of police who are racist. Like the cop who murdered George Floyd. That was a bad cop period.

Police in general aren't the reason. Just the bad cops.

Show me a cop who's never looked the other way while his cop buddy has done something wrong and abused their power. They're all equally guilty and bad.

Well I guess we should defund them and just have anarchy instead.

what does "defunding the police" mean to you?

It means underfunding the police to direct funds to other agencies that aren't qualified to deal with potential dangerous situations.

Um did you even read the article that you linked? It actually contradicts what you just posted.

LOL this ^
I hate to tell you all this, but every cop could do his job by the book and not be racist and we'd be in the same situation. The war on drugs was specifically started to target hippies and black people. You'd still have black teens being stopped, frisked, and thrown in jail for having pot on them and suburban kids smoking pot with impunity and CEO's snorting cocaine off of hookers tits like it's cool. You catch who you police. If you focus your enforcement in certain neighborhoods, that's who you catch.
As far as cops killing people, it would still happen even if every cop weren't racist. The rules for use of deadly force are broken. The standard used to be "if in reasonable fear for their life or someone else's life. The was revised by the SCOTUS to remove the reasonable. That's why officers are so often acquitted even if clear cases of murder, like the white guy that was shot crawling on his belly in the hotel. Straight up murder, acquitted. It would still occur with black men more often, because of structural income and educational inequality and racial biases.
Until you change laws and policing policies, no amount of training will fix it. It's crazy that any American would accept that the rules to shoot an American by the police are more lax than the rules for military member in a combat zone. Start shooting Afghanis because your scared would be a great way to end up in Leavenworth for life.

Imagine thinking that police are more capable of dealing with mentally ill and special needs patients than people that do that for a living.

Sadly that truly is what a lot of people think. Cops are idiots who got beat up on high school and now want to go puff their chests out. Anyone with intelligence would choose a different line of work.
