There is no one that doesn’t believe the deaths of  Eric Garner , George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and Jacob Blake or any other police involved shootings were tragic! And that full investigations and subsequent hearings with applicable punishments for those officers should be done and done quickly.

Everyone should agree, police need to receive intense initial and annual training on de-escalation and race relations. I believe more intense background and psychological checks should be made initially as well as annually and immediately after any questionable incident!

However we need to take a step back and look at each situation individually and not paint ALL police as evil and racist! Millions of “interactions” are handled every year without theses outcomes.

But here is food for thought… we were taught not to believe all Black people, especially Black men are drug addicted, thieves and murders? Then with the past and ever increasing current robberies, shootings and murders,  would it be fair to the Black race to revert back to painting everyone with the same broad brush?
