Minorities aren’t “regularly” persecuted by police. You need to define what “regularly” means and show your evidence if you want to make such a hyperbolic claim. Criminals are regularly persecuted by police, however.
It happens to be that some demographic groups have higher crime rates and therefore have more frequent police interactions. And if they choose to resist the police or refuse their lawful orders, bad things will happen. But keep in mind the police have hundreds of millions of interactions with people each year. The number that end tragically due to an unjust application of policing (like the Philando Castile case) are incredibly rare. And in case you aren’t aware, black Americans want more policing not less, so don’t speak for them as a white person: https://news.gallup.com/poll/316571/black-americans-police-retain-local-presence.aspx https://news.gallup.com/poll/316571/black-americans-police-r...
