i think the police need to go thru yearly training. they also need to understand every person and every gesture isn't a threat.

found it eye opening to see that altho the races all equally commit crime, or use drugs, that people of color are stopped more often and arrested more often than white people. most people on death row are there for killing a white person, whereas people who murder someone of color are almost never given that penalty.

the police mostly deal with bad people, which probably makes them eventually treat everyone as 'bad'. it's bound to affect their outlook on people. HOWEVER, that's why i suggest yearly training. they need to be re-trained to keep them from becoming paranoid. they also need to understand that quite often people view them as the bad guy because of stories like this one, and garbage like stop and frisk.
