probably when I said the idea that there are current imbalances is completely outlandish.

Don't take it so personal. You support the idea of systemic racism, witch is what is to blame according to many for the killings of black men by "racist" white cops. I think the systemic racism claim is overblown, a convenient way to tar all police with the actions of a few bad or mistaken cops. I think all cops, black or white or other, go out to enforce the law. If a black man is shot, the first word from the black community is "murder". Not "we need to investigate" - "murder". And other words like "hunted down like a dog".

The key word to me is "systemic' - a part of the system, and that is why the BLM and other movements want to defund/abolish the police - to change the system.

The first thing that needs to be done to change the system is for the black community and leaders to stop casting cops as the enemy and black cops as race traitors.
