I am horribly familiar with race relations in the US (I hate the word race as applied to humans. There is only one race) and I have some sympathy with the 'protestors'. I've never understood, do not understand and can't figure the angle on burning and looting. All I can imagine is long simmering anger, and a thousand little cuts leading to such behavior.
Harry Truman integrated the Armed Forces of the United States via Presidential Order in 1948. It took AT LEAST 50 years for the order to fully take effect.
I can't tell you how many instances of 'equipment failure' exist in the police forces that wear body cams (I'm not even sure the majority does). I have an easy answer for that problem, but nobody cares. Make it a firing offense to NOT have your cam functioning. A few people lose their jobs and they will learn to routinely check equipment. They check their weapons multiple times a day, check your cam function at the same time...
We here in the US desperately need to have the obvious discussion. Instead, we have the President inciting and dividing. Baby steps, indeed.
And then there is the group mentality, the safety in numbers, the masks. Protests need not be violent, protests can simply be changing behavior to longer support the violence of other.
The cameras seem to not work in the jail cells either, no matter how high-profile the inmate is.
I have several US friends here, but they have already been selected as different, because they are here. I can't generalize the people, but the systems supported are lunacy.
