We recruit the wrong kind of individuals to do police work. "Peace" officers should have tremendous people skills and be highly trained in passive peace keeping techniques. Instead we give recruits extra credit for having served in the military, which, like it or not has one main job, i.e. to kill people.
Angry blacks have a reason to be angry. They are fair game and can be shot almost daily by police with impunity. If Michael Brown had been killed in a war, the shooter would have been guilty of a "war crime", for in war it is illegal to kill someone who has surrendered. Not in black American neighborhoods. There is no "justice" for black people, the number of black deaths by police, the rate of black incarceration, and the rate blacks receive the death penalty, scream loudly, that either we have a very racist society or we have a broken system, or both.
