Recently a North Carolina NAACP official stated, “Many black people who become police officers become blue, not black. In order for you to survive in a police department, you take on the police department’s ideology, ways of life, and culture.” She even implies that black cops are not people.
It’s a sentiment that unfortunately has gained traction in the black community.
That racist statement is best understood within the context of the NAACP’s 2016 mission: to preserve Black Lives Matter’s false narrative about systemic racism in policing, above any and all other concerns. This isn’t just by accident; the lies about systemic racism in policing—and as a black law-enforcement administrator, I can state these are unequivocally false—are purposefully crafted and calculated with a political aim.
Shame on this once proud organization. They have dwindled into one of the most irrelevant brands in the United States. Even the name is outdated. The Advancement of Colored People? They have sold out their original mission of freedom for blacks and instead have become slaves to a new master, the Democrat Party. The NAACP is so desperate to provide cover for the progressive’s favorite dog-whistle, “racism,” it has now completed its journey from being a voice for the black community to essentially being the National Association for the Advancement of Caucasian Progressivism. (I considered but rejected the following other C words: Conniving, Calculated, Condescending, Catastrophic, Corrupt.

Everyone critical of the police should either have to become a police officer for a year, or at least go through the training.
It might open their eyes a tiny bit...

I have seen a few of these, and they always shoot. This guy changed his tune a bit after but he will most likely ignore that and continue on his "cause".

It shouldn't be a surprise that an untrained person always shoots. It should be a surprise that the trained officers shoot.

The North Carolina NAACP president is the same who said that Keith Scott had a Second Amendment right to be carrying the gun he was carrying and that if the officers involved hadn't approached him the way they did, Scott would've walked away "on his merry way."
Of course, that ignores the fact that he was brandishing the firearm, not simply carrying it, and that as a convicted felon he had no legal right to be carrying anyway.
Weird how the refrain is "cops should've handled it different and he'd be alive" instead of "if he'd followed the law like he should have, he'd still be alive." NAACP is part of the problem? Nah. *eyeroll*

I can't find where the NAACP says this. Your article sources Blue Lives Matter and that article has no source.
Also, thereIS systemic racism in policing.
ORIGIN:On 27 September 2016 the clickbait site Downtrend published an article originally titled "NAACP SAYS BLACK COPS ARE NOT REAL BLACK PEOPLE,"
Significant changes were made to the article between its original publication on 27 September 2016 and 30 September 2016. The revised version walked the claim back to being something supposedly stated by a "local NAACP" brand or chapter rather than the national NAACP organization:
In other words, a single spokesperson for a local NAACP chapter (likely Charlotte branch president Corine Mack) suggested that many black cops have to subordinate their racial identities to police culture in order to work effectively as part of a police force, but no NAACP representative asserted that "black cops are not real black people.

The lies and hyperbole about systemic racism in policing is a money-making machine.
Diversity Training and Inclusion companies have popped up all over the place since the 90's. It is a money-making endeavor and it requires this false narrative in order to continue.
Somebody is going to make lots of $$$$ pushing the re-training angle after O is out of office. Every police department in America will probably have to pay some crony company for this "re-training" program.
