I think we get lost in the racial element sometimes and the other side dilutes the argument with race.
Of course there are racists in law enforcement I'm not saying that.
We need to first ask the other side do they even acknowledge police brutality exists?
I'm white and I've been a victim.

Me too... though were I black, it wouldn't have been limited to only one time, regardless of whether I think you're diluting the wholly relevant and critical racial aspect.

I'm sad you have been a victim of police brutality.
Myself, my sister, mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, and about 3/4 of my friends have also been the victim. Many of us more than once.

(28,136 posts)I guess the point I was attempting centered on when talking to others who deny police racism. I was thinking of reaching them with the police brutality angle.
Probably a waste of time however.
