Phrozen Sands, if you haven't heard of Black people in your city or state who were stopped by police (with or without arrest) with no incident, you can do a Google search for news stories.

I'm not disagreeing here. I understand all of this. What I don't understand is why black men are killed by police more than 20 times more often than whites are. There's obviously something wrong with the system. I don't believe black lives are looked at as being equal in terms of comparing them to white lives. They never have been. Just my opinion on that issue. I'm still waiting for Wilson's conviction. Again, it's not over.
