One of the reasons why this argument will never get resolved is that like most issues, both sides are half right. There is no question that police officers do not react the same way to blacks as they do to whites. Whites are cut far more slack and blacks are often treated outrageously, sometimes to the point of improper murder by police. However, for whatever reason (another issue that could fill pages), the black community has not really done as well as others and a much higher percentage remain in poverty and ghettos, etc…which of course reinforces the police officers fears and stereotypes and actions, which of course results in their poor treatment of blacks…
