Black police also use the N word as slang and get by with it while white police do not, so culture seems to play some role in communication, tho it's against police policy.

No way! I don't believe it. Black cops can't be racist.

And if you go by the rule of that the share in crime category rules on the share of that ethincity in plcie posts, you again end up - most likely, I would assume - with a disproportionate share of ethnic police officer. Suddenly the ethnic minority shows up with a massisve overload in numbers of polcie officer belonging to that group. That could go as far as that a social minority fields a very hugh number of police officers so that the social majoirty deals with a social minority'S cops majority.



Sorry Neal, your idea does not compute well for a number of reasons. Or have you been ironic again?

lol, I'm pretty sure we need a massive overload of people of color in all our police departments. We should strive for at least 50% black police officers to handle black crime. That way people of color will not object to being arrested by black officers, and if they resist arrest and go crazy like the guy in Atlanta, the black officers will not shoot them down in cold blood.

Come on, get with the times, CHAZ in Seattle even get this. One of their 30 demands is:

“Only black doctors and nurses should be employed specifically to care for black patients.”
