So much tragedy in those statistics. We all know this, but I think it bears repeating:

"The adoption of military tactics, equipment, training, and weapons leads to law enforcement adopting a war-like mentality. They come to view themselves as soldiers fighting against a foreign enemy rather police protecting a community."

It is so abundantly clear that our citizens of color are the enemy, separate from the communities the police are supposed to protect. I don't know which was the chicken and which the egg, but a large segment of the population feels the same way, leading to an escalation of violence as each side reinforces the beliefs of the other. How often we hear "well, he must have done something wrong for the police to be after him." Thoughtless, senseless, compassionless.

Thanks for posting, sheshe. K&R

It's like a nightmare. The picture is so powerful

Thank you for the post, as always.

You should have posted it yourself. Yet I thank you for sending me the link.

And as long as people see it, that's all that matters

how can any one continue to deny the problems that we have?

I truly wish they would see the problem.
