(5,811 posts)and complaining that you haven't seen change about an issue that has been with us for 400 years - the killing of black bodies. I wish local police departments would not hire any white males on their police forces because I consider them extremely dangerous to black bodies. But is that realistic? No. We did get body cameras. We did get community policing boards at the local level. We are getting criminal justice reform. So yeah there has been some movement. But remember PBO is in an environment where he and his team are trying to save the lives of black people while white America is constantly denigrating and findings news way to foment violence against the first African American president. I find the whining frustrating when I know his life is in constant danger.
