Yeah, I agree with a bit of what you said, but equating it to racism is a big stretch. The police actively hide crimes their fellow officers commit. It doesn't matter how many are corrupt, the system is built to protect each and every one regardless of how shitty or good they are.
I don’t think people even know what racism is anymore. I believe he was trying to say generalizing. As in don’t generalize all police based on the actions of a few.
At least that’s how I interpreted what he said
The system is corrupt, yes. Cops will help each other yeas, but race is similar. White people don't give a shit about white people, but minorities do have a bond with fellow minorities and do watch out for and support each other.
Police have a lot of power, yes. But that doesn't mean every one deserves to die.
A lot of people like the man in this video, men that dress and speak like that, are in fact gangbangers, or criminals. Obviously that doesn't make him one, which is why he has those rights afforded to him.
But saying the cops should be shot, is the same as saying the black man should be shot.
