‘We do not expect the officers to wait until they’re fired upon before they feel the necessity to fire’ Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge said of the incident
I point out that “the way it used to be” trained the public to see the police this way, and your response is “But it’s not that way anymore”. Do you understand how training works?
If you want this perception to change, it’s going to take at least as many decades of the police being exactly what they should have been this whole time. That’s the fact. The public perception makes sense, whether you want to admit it or not; arguing against decades of practical training is a losing proposition.
I’m not interested in your justifications, because that’s not what I’m doing here, so I’m going to block you now. Do think about this further, I believe you’ll be able to understand what I’m saying eventually.
There’s actually a friend-of-a-friend of mine who is a LEO, and he explicitly told my friend that he racially profiles, for exactly this reason. Everything you were saying was his justification.

Have a good day, I hope your blocking goes well.
