I have never seen such horrible reading comprehension in my life
I am not the one focused on race, you are.
There is a racial element to the division between police and public trust right now in our country.
It is the need to repair this miss trust and what it may lead to that drives me to making these most practical suggestions.
It does not matter if this particular incident was racially motivated or not, and it does not matter how many incidents of the path were or were not racially motivated.
If simple measures that only serve to improve our police departments can help bridge the gap across this division, they are worth the effort.
Also, please stop putting words in my mouth and read my posts more carefully before responding.
Logical solutions to imaginary problems. #progressivism
Again I will pose the question: when, exactly, in the history of America, did racial injustice become an "imaginary problem"?

So Keith Ellison is a shill for the ALT RIGHT now?

An answer to what? You say "racial injustice" like that means something.
A black person was killed. The Black AG arrested and charged the officer responsible. How is that "racial injustice"
This is why "social justice" is a flawed concept. You cant have justice without facts, evidence, and process. SJW's want to skip over that to relitigate past events and advance a cathartic narrative to serve their interests.

I would guess around 1970 or so. It certainly is an "imaginary problem" in 2020.

Thank you for answering! Finally someone with a pair.
I guess your argument is that after the civil rights movement America essentially became a place that was "legally equal", and therefore racial injustice ceased to be a problem. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm sure we have all seen, heard, learnt, (experienced in some cases) enough about the civil rights era to agree that there were many people in America who held strongly racist attitudes, and fought against civil rights. I imagine we can all agree on this, but I've overestimated people before, so, again, let me know if I'm wrong.
So the obvious question remains: what happened to those (many) people who held racist beliefs at that time? Did they suddenly stop being racist because the argument for civil rights won? Were they suddenly convinced that they had been wrong all along? Did they stop sharing their ideas, teaching their children, treating people differently, at that moment in time?

Is Keith Ellison one of those people? Stephanie Rawlings Blake? Eric Holder? Marilyn Mosby?

You are clearly much more informed about current affairs than I, so, to answer your question fully, I will need you to supply me with a few thousand words on each of those people, covering their personal lives, professional careers, aspirations, dreams, pet peeves, fashion sense and favorite sit-coms. Please educate me.

They slithered off under their racist rocks. Now almost all of them are dead.
Oh, they didn't go anywhere. They were always there, ready to come back as soon as the time was right. Only difference now is that they have an entire political spectrum ready to back them up.

Will Smith has a great line: Racism isn't getting worse, it's getting filmed.
