That is the crux of the issue. Police officers in recent memory have been acquitted of killing black men. There is no faith in the justice system which is what evokes these reactions.

Sounds like you have a serious problem with your police force. But remind me. What percentage of the population is white? And what percentage of people killed by cops is white? Is it 4 times more likely that a cop will kill a black man (and that is just looking at the shootings, thus does not include those killed in custody).
