When have police officers ever had a great reputation?
Just when?
When many of one race has never adapted to changes within society.
During the segregation days of injustice by many.
And harassment by others.
It's to be expected sooner or later police would face problems.

In all honesty white cops doesn't know how to approach black males.
Or even Latinos.
Just speaking truth.

To serve and protect means more than that.
It's also means earning respect.
Which we know isn't always given.

Many whites feel very uncomfortable within groups of minorities.
Just speaking truth.
Those that does have been raised to respect everyone.
Then you have some that feels no respect for anyone.
Just been honest.

Mobsters have had officers on the take.
And even in present times.
Many still dilute the position with criminal behavior.

Compare minorities cops to white cops.
And this shoot to **** is less among them.
It's all within the talk and people's skills.

Sure white population support them.
They get harass less from them.
And it shows.
While they more suspicious by some minorities.
Just speaking truth.

It hurts, when truth is exposed.
But than many juries are not wised to convict.
When evidence points to a fair deal of justice.

Let not a badge dictate them innocent.
When facts states truthfully that they are guilty.
And than you ponder why folks says, where is the justice?

Admit many are racist.
Admit many deserve to be in prison.
Face the facts.

Notice which race commit the same crime as minorities.
But gets a different sentence for the same crime.
Just speaking truth.
For truth lies within.

Then again, some officers will be offended.
That's just the way it is.
Truth hurts.
Especially when it directed toward them.
