(1,713 posts)For #1 - getting all the facts before coming to a conclusion is essential to real justice.
For #2 - I believe that while there is a race issue, there is a larger issue of wanton police violence against citizens of all colors, genders, ages, and conditions, and a complete lack of lawful recourse against these villains. If, tomorrow, everyone woke up with the exact same shade of skin, police violence would still be a rampant problem. At the same time I can acknowledge that black people suffer from this problem more often than others because the implementation of law enforcement in general, in this country, is blatantly racist.
For #4 - goes back to #1, nothing wrong with collecting facts and evidence. Where I diverge from the norm is that I consider the possibility that the person filling out the report may not be competent or honest.
