- drdeca 8y agoFrom what I've heard, I think that they are. I also don't think they should be.
- scarface74 8y agoYes the whole “I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6”.
- soraminazuki 8y agoI was under the impression that the number one duty of the police is to protect its citizens. I may have been proven wrong, as you suggest.
- scarface74 8y agoIt is their duty, but as a minority, I’m really hesitant about trusting police. It’s to a point where if I had to call police to my house if it was broken into, I would let them know in advance that my I’m Black since I live in a mostly White neighborhood and I wouldn’t want them coming in guns blazing thinking that I’m breaking into my own house.
