What kind of race based solution is there? Why not just focus on the issue itself and how it impacts ALL of society instead of just cherry picking your own race? It's exclusionary. This is a problem that impacts everyone. Race has no real use in this discussion.

That statement implied that white people are mostly killed by police and that is not true.

Your thought could have been articulated better.


And likewise you minimizing the issue of race in this issue is just as ridiculous. Again, I never implied that was the ONLY factor that is rooted in police brutality. I have discussed other things as well.
