It is not hyperbole or hysteria. You’re gaslighting. Also they might not exist officially to spread hatred, fear, and terrorize Black people…but they do. I have to ask you do you understand systemic racism? It’s in all systems of America and the police are not immune. They are criticized, and we ask for reform, because unlike the others, they can kill with impunity. Along with the criminal justice system, they can ruin lives, families, and communities with unfair, or wrong, charges and penalties. Like life in prison for a crime you didn’t commit. Tougher sentences for marijuana that negatively impacts Black people when white people use it more. Why??? Because Black people are more likely to be pulled over. You’re saying 2% of interactions with police end in violence. These are traffic stops! Mostly unwarranted because of racial profiling. That’s not while a crime is being committed. You think Black men and women should be murdered or beaten for not using a signal, not having their lights on, or speeding. George Floyd was killed over allegations, that have not been proven, that he had a counterfeit bill. It’s not right. Black lives do matter. Yes, 2% is too much. Once is too much.
