They are subjected to more robberies, homicide, rapes, vandalism, spouse abuse, etc, but they are also the most fearful of police abuse and violence. Police are fearful of their lives when patrolling these neighborhoods. We must break this cycle of fear. When we win or lose sporting events we celebrate victory or protest loss by looting, burning, and general destruction of property. We must stop blaming and pointing the finger at police as solution to this situation.
Many police live in community and are members of family, friends etc.
We must isolate the police with this propensity for unwarranted violence. We are in a period of great transition where most old ways of doing and believing need changing. We need new definitions of education. We need new definitions of rights and responsibilities. New understandings of the concepts race and minority.
