...cops already are on a power trip and if any minority shows the slightest bit of resistance to that attitude....lights out


until the public...including the white public starts to raise hell about it....nothing will change. As for minorities, they need to vote, they need to vote, they need to vote

rid their towns of white control and start exerting their own power over the police.


that is in their hands to do. .We saw what happen in ferguson....elect people to represent YOU
