138. Ok, with all the killings of people of color that are now evident because of the proliferation . . .

of videos out there now (cellphone, dash cam and security cams) we can all see, even though us African Americans have know these killing have been going on for decades undetected, that wholesale changes in training are needed in police forces.

There has to be a sea change in the mentality away from people of color being taught as "the bad guys", the enemy. Protect and serve has to come back and really be what cops are about. Now they are little more than occupation forces in communities of color.

Weed out the sociopaths, the steroid abusers, the violence prone officers, the ones not fit to hold a badge and gun (see the Tamir Rice killer), introduce and stress deescalation tactics to eliminate the shootings like in Baton Rouge, Minnesota, Charleston and on and on and on and on.

It can be done. It will require determination and will from the top brass to make the change but it's glaringly obvious that the bad cops and unjustified killings from poorly trained cops need to be gone.
