Of course I absolutely disagree with killing cops.
The solution is that they need to listen and actually acknowledge that here is a problem with racial profiling and how cops treats people differently. Heck if we go as far back as the OJ case even the cop on trial was caught on tape saying that he targeted black people and at times planted evidence against them. It's a thing. It's the same reason many racists don't like to be called racists, they don't like to acknowledge that part of them because it makes them a bad person. Cops and people like to believe that they're all good cops and that they truly are there to serve the people for your best interest. Acknowledging this completely destroys that serving your country slogan and they hate it. Doesn't mean they're all bad, but when they're bad they're bad and those cops protecting them are also bad.

yep, I agree with all that. The Cops should be trained differently and Racial profiling should be brought into their training as well(as in don't do it), it's like a vicious circle really, black people get targeted by Police so black people don't trust the Police and end up more hostile towards them because of that and then that "confirms" that thought that black people are bad and so it continues endlessly. A massive change in attitude and how the Police are taught to deal with people most especially black people is needed but that's never going to happen until the Police stop closing ranks and accept that change is needed
