Superficially it may appear so and years ago I might have agreed but the number of black men being killed by black police officers kind of contradicts that, the more attention I pay the more it seems to me that if you are poor, without opportunities or indeed hope the more likely you are to run into police that are institutionally violent because of the streets they patrol and the outcome is tragically obvious, there is no easy solution and imo it can't be dismissed just by saying they're racist, it's more complicated than that but where I would agree is that money counts more than anything, more than the colour of skin even
