Claiming that every single black person in America thinks that ever single police office in America is bad discredits whatever point you're trying to make. You must spend your entire life in a bubble if you truly believe that.

It's not that black people believe every single cop is bad, it's that they MUST assume that a cop can do bad things to them. America is truly a police state for Black people. It doesn't matter if 90% of cops are good, if 10% can get away with brutalizing you and worse, all cops are suspect.

It's the old dilemma: There's 1% chance this beer can kill you: Do you want to try your chance and drink it? Of course not. But you can't not interact with the police. Just being black is enough to get bad cops' negative attention.

"Attorney General William Barr on Wednesday acknowledged a “widespread phenomenon” where communities of color are treated differently by police in the US."

Really bubble much ????.
