I can only think of one recent shooting fatality by police. Which ones are you thinking of?

To answer your question, though, having more black police officers in predominantly black neighborhoods might help some things. Police forces can't seem to recruit them though.

We could all improve relations. I think people here, whatever color, need to respect the police. They have a tough job to do.

so might obeying the law. what makes you think a black officer would behave any differently toward a lawbreaker than any other.

It is illegal and wrong to show preferential treatment in hiring and promotion.

I do not believe this will be helpful in the final analysis. It seems to me, listening to speeches by Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Jesse Jackson, etc...that the object is to bring earth's children TOGETHER. We would be going about it the wrong way to staff in that manner. Soon, you would hear Hispanics saying they only want Hispanic Policemen, and Asians saying the same. It won't work.

growing up in vancouver, we have a diverse police force. there are so many cultures and languages here...it's very useful on many levels, particularly language.

It happens ALL the time. For instance, protected class(es) are given "extra" points in civil service exams. Frequently, local, state, and Federal government jobs require this. That means that I can score substantially higher and therefore qualify for the position in de facto, yet a protected class applicant can score lower, yet be "bumped" ahead of me because of the additional points which I have no way of getting. In my opinion, whichever way you look at this, it is discrimination.

okay okay. Not sure if you got the gist of the post. We can't solve the problem of race by cow-towing. Do you understand that?
