    You're denying that racism exists in the police force despite tons of proof and statistics and yet you call OTHER people delusional?

    I think i as well as the majority of posters on this board would agree that you are one of the top 5 most delusional posters on here.

    Well, if you were a little bit more realistic about things, you'd see things my way. Till then, feel free to carry on with your delusional world perspective that cops are "unfairly killing" black people right and left. It's unhealthy, but it's your choice.

    Can you just admit that you are racist and get it over with please? At least own up to it. It's so pathetic that you keep pretending anything else.

    Seems like a large number of American's share "an unhealthy delusion". Rather than pretending this problem doesn't exist, or dismissing it as "delusion", perhaps it would make more sense to better understand and work towards a solution.

    Sandra Bland though she was being treated unfairly by police. Self reporting about your feelings is not really an accurate measure of anything but your feelings. Anyone can say they feel they are receiving unfair treatment.

    That 60% of millions of people feel something isn't an accurate measure of anything but your feelings is preposterous. Whatever. Dude, you post such obtuse and intellectually dishonest stuff nowadays. What happened to you? My goodness.

    I think the guy was Hispanic, as were the police officers.

    Officers need better training and probably higher pay (to attract better candidates).

    If over half a population believe (not getting into what % actually have) they have been mistreated... it *is* a problem.

    The fact that people feel like they have been mistreated certainly is a problem, people actually being mistreated is much less of one because of how rare legitimate issues are.

    It's because there are some people that think a Pacific Islander Woman is some symmetrical faced Asian with a slight tan and goddess figure. They have no clue who is who.

    A self reported survey of feelings cannot be an accurate measure of anything more than feelings, and the fact that it is self-reported means it is probably not even an accurate measure of that. We have seen video evidence of one of these alleged incidents of mistreatment, and it was not mistreatment at all, IMO. If the complaints are about incidents like that, then they are just whiny people being whiny.

    I have seen police misconduct in my work. In my limited experience, it tends not to be racially disproportionate and more often has to do with things like destruction of evidence than racism or excessive force.
    I disagree.
    Nothing has happened to me. Things are going great. How are things with you.
    It is some sort of problem, but not necessarily one stemming from widespread mistreatment. 25% of Americans think the sun orbits the earth. That isn't a problem of astrophysics.

    Did you got to the Don Rumsfeld/Ted Cruz college of bull**** this summer? It would seem so. You just compared science with millions of anecdotal experiences with police officers? No.

    "Let’s be honest with ourselves, here, fellow Jews. We do control the media. We’ve got so many dudes up in the executive offices in all the big movie production companies it’s almost obscene. Just about every movie or TV show, whether it be “Tropic Thunder” or “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” is rife with actors, directors, and writers who are Jewish. Did you know that all eight major film studios are run by Jews?" - Manny Friedmann
    “Jews totally run Hollywood. … As a proud Jew, I want America to know about our accomplishment. Yes, we control Hollywood. … I don’t care if Americans think we’re running the news media, Hollywood, Wall Street or the government. I just care that we get to keep running them.”(LA Times, Joel Stein)
