oh ffs black on black crime. First, your statistic about black cops is wrong because the majority of cops are white. I want to see some actual data to support your statement there.
... you're forgetting ph's earlier post, which notes not that black cops cause 78% of total police-on-black shootings, but that of the ones they
do shoot, 78% are still black. The bit you're quoting is a mild misstatement. Insofar as actual points in contrast to the position Ph is trying to build by quoting the number in question, it's strongly worth noting that institutional racism is a thing, and it is
entirely possible to be racist against one's own race. That minority LEOs also disproportionately target minorities doesn't really mean much insofar as general institutional equality goes. Doesn't mean that corruption and whatnot still isn't a larger problem, but it doesn't necessarily mean that racism within the system is reduced in magnitude and impact, either.
As for the general thread of thought that reducing or eliminating racism within the police force somehow wouldn't help, I... just have to look at those making the claim with extreme askance. If we could bring the levels of excess down to what's performed against non-minorities, that would frankly be a goddamn
coup and a major improvement. Even if, by some incredibly unlikely occurrence, things met half-way, it would still be a notable step forward. This apparent sentiment that correcting for racism would do little to nothing to improve the situation is just... off. Fix everything, of course not, but major freaking improvement? Almost certainly.
