To state the obvious: Institutional racism where Black people (especially Black men) are profiled** and immediately perceived as a threat, regardless if they're a violent convict or someone who has no criminal record.**It should also be noted that not all police practice this, but the ones that do, we get these instances of cops going to their guns and leaving behind bodies.
In 2019, there were 200,000 incidents of misconduct by 85,000 police officers, including 22,924 incidents of excessive force; 3,145 incidents of child molestation, rape, and sexual misconduct; 2,307 incidents of domestic violence; 2,227 incidents of perjury, tampering with evidence, and falsifying reports; and 418 incidents of obstructing investigations into themselvers or people they knew, among others.
That is a lot of "bad apples," not counting the so-called "good apples" turning a blind-eye or covering for them.
