'White people use police as a weapon'

Really? Tell me, how does that work in places like Baltimore where the majority is black. The mayor and police officials are also black. So, some secret cabal of white overlords are directing them? Then we turn to the Democratically controlled cities across the nation where blacks turn out in significant majorities to elect and reelect their white overlords. Seems, instead of complaining, they should start electing black overlords.

There is a solution;

Simple facts is calling the police for a concern isn't a weapon, it's see something say something. If you have a negative bias you will see everything from your bias. Instead of responding politely and owning the situation this individual decided to become argumentative. A simple yeah I was really tired.

I used to have the same opinion when I saw my sisters crying their way out of speeding tickets, I always got nailed, until I changed my attitude and worked with the police who pulled me over instead of reacting negatively to them. My speeding habits haven't decreased but I haven't had a ticket in over a decade because of my attitude change.

I do not blindly support the police any more than I would any other governmental organization. I am always a little cautious of any organization that wields significant authority, it can go to peoples head.

This notion that the police are used as a weapon against blacks is absurd on its face. There are too many urban areas that have mostly black leadership and larger percentages of the departments are minorities etc. and you have the very same issues at play. Look at Baltimore, DC, Chicago, NY etc.

What happens is someone calls the police and when they show up, they have no idea what they are going to actually see/hear/experience. They have to sort out the issue they were called to investigate. I agree there are too many people that call the police for things they should not. We have all heard the tapes of people calling 911 over a McDonalds order gone bad.

There is no doubt this was a bad police call, it should not have been made but the police, once called, must respond or else.
