I have to ask.............if there's systemic racism in Policing.........what's the answer..........no police?
Black Lives Matter’s false narrative about systemic racism in policing, above any and all other concerns.

I can't comment on the article, however, in many of the cases that have made it in the media, black cops are present and do the shooting. Of course, this doesn't fit the narrative, so the anti-cop propogandist will quickly try to label the black cops as Uncle Toms, etc or part of some institutional racism. You see this in almost every story.
The highest ranking officer on the scene overseeing the arrest of Eric Garner was a black police Sergeant. Black officers were on the scene when Keith Scott was shot. I can go on and on.
When the narrative doesn't support a racist cop it will be deflected to that the black cops aren't "black enough" or that they some how gave up their blackness. I am black. My dad who is also black was a cop for 30 years. He discussed this dynamic quite frequently.
This is not to say that there aren't racist cops, but the narrative is quite over blown. The NAACP and other activist want us to believe that modern police forces are filled with Bull Connors just purposely harassing black people. When they can't prove this narrative, they deflect to the "sell out" black cop who hates his own people.

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 Even the name is outdated.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.

More at the link. I found this a few minutes ago and wanted to post due to the election circus we are currently going through. The DNC and NAACP have been at it for decades, with their false narratives and claims of racism, when in reality the true racism is coming straight from them, and blatantly. They both have been running a game with the Black community and I have to wonder how, with everyone owning a smartphone, can people ignore the facts staring them right in the face?
They (sjw, etc) have no problem gobbling up facts on the latest email releases, and other news, while this topic gets them triggered. I have the utmost respect for Sheriff Clarke and he isn't afraid to come straight out and speak his mind and the truth. I would vote for this guy in a heartbeat for potus.
If the people in these communities do not wake up to the reality of their manipulation then they are going to be in for some bad times, as well as the rest of us. The shebeast will just further this, and probably at an accelerated rate.

I don't think it should make any difference on the color of someones skin if they have shot someone in the line of duty. I think the best way to try to negate these feelings is to educate the public more and maybe a chest camera that automatically comes on when out of the police vehicle?
The people that use the term Uncle Tom in a derogatory way, obviously don't have a clue. Here is a little knowledge for people that don't know.

I try my best not to question the police when something bad goes down.
Sorry but the "abuse towards Blacks" translates in reality to "More force was neccessary because of the way a lot of Blacks behave when confronted".

That's load of crap. For every video you show me of a cop being attacked by a black person, I can show you 10 cases of cops attacking a non-violent/unarmed black person.
Not all cops or their divisions are racist, but all are tainted with corruption and cronyism , and until the corruption is addressed racism and everything else you can name are just cherries on top of the sundaes.

That right there is pure DEHUMANIZATION. And it's dehumanization that leads to mass murder, wars and genocide.

What did she actually say to make you, and the author of this article believe that?
Leave it to "Blue Live Matter" to spread lies and disinformation to cause racial tension and further division.

The actual quote:
“Many black people who become police officers become blue, not black,” the local organization said. “In order for you to survive in a police department, you take on the police department’s ideology, ways of life, and culture.”
Meaning.......black officers have to put the code of the "Fraternal Brotherhood and thin blue line" above any cultural or racial identity they may have previously identified.
Meaning that being a police officer may be required one to put their humanity aside in order to defend a brother in blue's actions.
