Your Dad gave you some good advice. If one wants to question police conduct, do it in court.
You're right! Police officers, as any other employees, are under pressure to
follow the examples of what they think their superiors want (or condone).
And to not stand out from their peers, thus all acting like sheep (with guns).
But when a person of color perceives that his life is in imminent danger, as
has been happening over and over, there is only one thought on his mind.
To not die.
You can't reason in an unreasonable situation. Why is there prejudice against
people of color? Because their ancestors lived closer to the Equator and
evolved with darker skin to protect them from the rays of the sun?
No, because bullies are simple-minded. They can recognize and single out
dark skinned victims vs. Caucasians. 'Doesn't require intelligence.
Again, you can't reason in an unreasonable situation.
I grew up facing prejudice. But, as a Caucasian, I could "pass" for mainstream.
My heart goes out to people of color who can't.
Just think about the terms White and Black. With the exception of albinos,
none of us are white and none of us are black.
