We basically have forced labor camps for men and women on non-violent charges. Black men experience this at a far higher rate than the rest of the population. Of course we’re a racist country, and cops are a massive part of this mechanism. Also, there is no excuse for a cop firing their gun without someone else shooting at them first. Shooting for resisting arrest is just legalized murder.

Forced labor camps? you mean prisons? I'm sorry but please back this up with evidence. And sure black men experience this at a far higher rate. This is because black men commit crimes at a far higher rate. Men in general commit crimes at a far higher rate and thus experience this at a far higher rate, but I don't hear anyone suggesting that America is sexist against men. To say of course we're a racist country is so preposterous. Yes slavery happened hear. But because America is the wonderful country that it is, we were able to abolish it and move in a progressive direction. Race issues are so nearly resolved completely and its people like you, as well as the small minority of legitimately racist people left, that are perpetuating the problems. And yes of course there is an excuse for a cop firing their weapon at someone even if that someone hasns't shot first. Do you understand what a ridiculous standard that would be? Are we just supposed to make our cops wait to get shot before they act? absurd. You know what there isn't any excuse for? Not cooperating with a cop who is acting within the bounds of the law. Which is the number 1 reason why people get shot by cops, white or black. This cop hating/disrespecting mentality among the black community only encourages people to be disrespectful and uncooperative with cops, ultimately leading to the fatal encounters you see in the news e.g. Michael Brown.
