American liberals can't tell good cops from evil action??

As far as the US, are the good cops the bad cops, is racism institutional, are there good solutions for violence and violence by police officers?

When people say if a hundred good cops don't out a bad cop they're bad too, what makes them think that cops, whether good or not, know if a person they need to put their trust is actually bad?

Surely, a bad cop wouldn't last long if they were a bad cop from day one and often marked as a corrupt cop, and if involved in violence often, you would find they wouldn't be likely to get promoted, might end up on report, or even get fired if they are found to be in error. So the good cops, they hear of a person they know, someone they've trusted while on patrol or on a case, that that guy has been accused of an illegal act. Such as going too far, leading to the death of someone without enough provocation to call it defence, etc. In that situation, you might think that that person has been accused unfairly, he works hard, he seems down to earth, but turns out you are wrong. And if you're wrong, you're wrong. You may have had years of working with or near to a sound person who, while under pressure, was acting out of character, maybe, kneed on a guys neck, and has been found guilty of murder.

How many people who worked with or knew a cop, a cop they thought was a good cop, might have been shocked to know that such an action took place. Many "bad cops" have spotless careers until they fuck up. Very much like many criminals, including those involved in mass shootings at schools and the like.

It is almost like a greater problem of mental health is the bigger issue that overlaps with many subjects and present protections in the united states let some people through the net or that some instability isn't easily detectable. The result eventually being someone, somewhere, for some reason, snaps.

I don't think the United States nor the Police forces are racist, however, there is a problem within that seems to be poorly dealt with. Cutting funding is the wrong choice, pulling back isn't a helpful method, although I do admit that investment in communities is key to lowering crime. The acts of racism by some cops, rare thought it is, and other actions of unjustified force, are a problem that requires some serious attention. Not that you can say that there is a toxic racism that is everywhere in policing. Nor would I call it logical to insist that average cops, good or not, are part of the problem too. And liberal witch-hunts that ignore the lack of evidence in some cases are far from helpful. Indeed, as far as BLM, there are many people willing to react long before the facts are out, long before an investigation takes place. And sadly, mainstream liberal politicians are overly supportive of this thinking while poorly organised for reform in how the rule of law is implemented.

The problems go beyond the united states and their set of issues in some cases and places, at some times. Every case should be treated as a case by case issue unless their is reason to judge otherwise. For example, if police in one area seem to be targeting black youths and not simply trying to police a crime ridden area that happens to be heavily populated by black people. The types of crimes and areas tend to give an impression, just as I am sure that in a location dominated by white people, the vast vast majority of criminals are likely to be of European descent. And so on and so forth as far as areas dominated by an Asian population. The complexity is when a city or district is very mixed, and, sadly, gangs do throw any basic calculation off beyond mere proportion of the population. And some communities admire violence and alpha male status over that of hard work and honesty when it comes to life's hardships. Obviously, the mentality is not exclusive to people of sub-Saharan African descent. In fact, most people of African ethnicity are not bound to such things, most African Americans aren't trash. Enough people of every community or culture or ethnicity, are in fact far from the best people in society.

I am reminded of some of the local white trash near my small Somerset town, some people who seem to think they're above the law as they get messed up on drugs or steal from average people, or try to fight the police. It is very rare, yet if I said this without making this clear you might imagine things are far worse. And if you have an handful of street gang members in an inner-city, they're likely to be less than 1% of young males for that district, probably less. So no need to characterise people beyond the reality. And often, of the people killed by police in the US, it is petty criminals who are worried about other issues. Such as not keeping up with actions they should be up to date with, like seeing their parole officer or whatever the case.

Imagine if you had something on you, drugs or something, or you were behind on payments you were ordered to pay by the courts. And you're scared that this means the cops will throw you in a cell and the courts will bang you up behind bars. If you were in that boat, you might try to run or resist. And if you have a bunch of people around you, they might try to make the cops back off. They might film it too. As they probably should, even if often edited videos surface later online singing a different tune. I'm thinking there are so many dimensions to this subject that go far beyond simply saying police forces are a racist organisation or may as well be, as some people seem to parrot. Investment in the police, communities and mental health services is likely to be a great way to deal the problem in real world terms.
