>Just ask black people you know, observe what happens on the street in a black neighborhood Have you asked any white people who live in deprived neighbourhoods, or latinos? I can tell from first-hand experience that a lot of white people hate the police. No racism was involved though. It has more to do with gangs not wanting the police to interrupt their crimes, high crime in general in those areas, real danger to the police putting them on edge, etc. > I can tell you that policing an inner city neighborhood exposes you to the worst society has to offer on a daily basis, and it can lead to police forming some ugly opinions I think this is the key problem. Not racism. Blaming it on racism just causes further problems. I'm sure there is some racism, but it doesn't appear to be the main problem. >BTW, you linked to a Washington Times article. That's a very different newspaper from the Washington Post. Fixed, thanks.
