Trayvon martin attacked george zimmerman, ambushed him from behind a bush(i know it sounds funny 'cause bush is in both words) bashed his head into the ground trying to kill him. That was proven in court. But somehow he was hailed as an innocent victim by the black community, despite the very conclusive evidence that actually it was Martin who was the one who attacked Zimmerman.
I'm not defending the system, i'm just saying the problems in the Law Enforcement system are not unique to the law enforcement system. they are the same problems that all groups have. Just like black people rally around guilty black people, law enforcement rallies around guilty law enforcers.
Maybe you could tell me how to fix that problem, but i don't see any solutions from you, just finger pointing at one group, while denying that it is a human problem, not a cop problem.
Framing it as a blacks vs. cops problem does nothing to solve the problems in either group.

Doesn't matter, you can't compare a community's actions to that of a Law Enforcement agency's, it's a stupid comparison that's flawed on many levels.
Funnily enough I can't seem to find anything that definitively states that Trayvon Martin attacked Zimmerman. I can find a lot of sources that say that Zimmerman hounded Trayvon though.
Again you bring up the community angle although it's a dumb comparison, you can't compare a law enforcement agency to a community, it's up to the Law Enforcement agency to be better, not the other way around.
I don't offer a solution, I'm saying that you should acknowledge that there is a problem instead of going on and on with this ''All lives matter' bull****. Because acknowledgement is always better than denial.
As for you last sentence, it's just another attempt to deny the problems that America has with it's police forces. Considering that we're getting stories of police brutality constantly it certainly is an issue of racist police officers racially profiling and murdering black people for the colour of their skin
