Many whites when asked about the killings of so many black men over the many years, they usual say something like “yes there are a few bad apples. But the vast majority are good cops.” My question then is if so,” why don’t they solve their serious problem of murderers in their midst?” Seems logical and normal to me to solve one’s own problem.

Surely we all have seen enough of these killings with thanks to those who film them. If not filmed, the light of day may never have come up in the morning. Why is there not a record of these terrible decisions of execution registered so so all know how many each year. It is simple data to be kept.

Furthermore, the iron fist of the police unions need to be restructured so that the police unions represent the police as well as the community. That iron fist must become a cloth hand to help both cops and community because this issue of police killings has been going on for a very long time to the point that black parents must warn their children re the police and their attitudes and wishes.

No one is trying to take away the need to serve and protect. Stopping police killings is a first big step to move our country forward. Asking the people with guns, namely the police, to control themselves seems to be a logical question for their community. It is their problem to solve. Better to come from the inside than the outside maybe. If in fact this was to happen in a very real way, the country would be much better off and the black community would welcome any deserved ticket from a policeman. Thus, police could become a keystone partner to help in the battle for complete equality for all.
