It's sad for anyone who has to deal with this reality--because the police are supposed to protect us. What happens when the line between the good guys and the bad guys--is not there for some, in many communities?
I think it's a very traumatic situation for many.
I can't imagine being a parent and wondering if your child will be killed or injured by the police--because there are bigots on some police forces who are also sociopaths. I've seen interviews where this is exactly the case. Parents worry when their child/teenager leaves the house, because of this specific corruption and bigotry by the police.
It's grossly unfair and it is gut wrenching to know that this is real.
