  Systemic Racism: What’s Your View? Is it As Pervasive As Some Suggest?

  the president of the united states says we have to do something about this.

  many politicians and people agree that we are all affected by the scourge of systemic racism.

  what’s your view of this?

  Can ANYTHING be improved? Probably. Nothing is perfect. Defunding the police isn’t the solution or taking a huge amount out of the budget.

  why is it that minorities seem to be always shown in confrontations with police? Is it just the news media that’s trying to push an agenda that happens to be a democrat talking point? Perhaps. Do typical police officers enjoy seeing an elderly person hurt ? I don’t think so. But since it appears that is what happened, should we say the entire police system needs better training?? I don’t think so.

  John, I’m referring to TYPICAL news you see every day. So do you want to defund the police because of police brutality against non whites?? If you do , since you mentioned that point, I would say police brutality is not the norm against non whites. If it’s not the norm, why would you want to defund the police?? It’s overkill.

  Having police deters problems. You do think twice if you might get a speeding ticket or drive drunk or think you can simply pick a fight with your neighbor. The police can and do keep law and order . People who want to defund the police don’t want to be held accountable. They can freely burn down a business and know no one will hold them accountable.

  That’s a stupid comment about the police not having a job . Plenty of towns have police that for the most part keep law and order. I know of plenty of cops who live in towns other than Chicago that don’t have to deal with murderers and rioters and gang bangers. They keep the towns safe

  The system should be improved and people who are less qualified should not be given jobs because of their minority status. The system should reward people for their qualifications not for their lack of.
