From sky news there

this sort of thing is the big eye opener for me. I get that a lot of the police in the USA are not well trained, so when events occur, they are just not prepared to deal with them correctly and that is certainly a contributory factor in all of this, but the police seem to have been specifically picked for the force because they have undesirable attributes one of which is that they are racist.

I listened to a BLM leader talking earlier in the week and he suggested that the police force should be disbanded because it had been shown they were causing more harm than good. My reaction was you have got to be joking, what could be more ludicrous, but the more I see and hear, the more I think something very fundamental has to change within the police force, it's not just a tweak here and a tweak there
