Okay, so what do you think it is? I personally see the root problem as being 
poverty. In what neighborhoods do you find the most property crime? The most 
claims of police brutality? Without a doubt, it is universally the poor 
neighborhoods. Is that too much of a coincidence for you?

Haha, that's truly funny.. to defend the racist Founding Fathers, you say 
that 
only "some of them" were slave-owners. The rest of them are racist just for 
putting up with it.

And it gets even better! Now you are saying that the undeniable fact of a 
racist police apparatus running rampant for decades and decades in this 
country
is the work of "bad apples" ... 
I think I'm beginning to understand your perspective. Complete denial.
