MU88 -- There's definitely more to it. Do some cities have better training? Better background checks to determine mental fitness for the job? Better educated citizens who are proactive in compliance with police? More minorities involved in the management side of the hiring process? There's always more to it, but anyone that thinks blacks are treated equally in our society is at best grossly delusional. Jim Crow laws tilted the balance against blacks and repealing laws does not undo generations of injustice.

It's a deeply complex and at the moment, seemingly insurmountable issue. But at least we're starting to talk about it, which is a huge step in the right direction.
