Duh! Of course blacks don’t only live in black neighborhoods and can leave their neighborhoods. It could also be that when a black person is pulled over and the cop is white they wait for a black responding officer to handle the case.
Yes black officers can still cause police brutality but at least they can’t say it’s racist.

The claim is that it is racial.

What a stupid question. Of course blacks live in other neighborhoods but in a black neighborhood you are more likely to respond to a call that involves a black person and if the officer is white it will automatically be racist is things go bad.

So a segregated police force. Brilliant. Why didn't anyone else think of segregation? Oh WAIT!

Black officers can still racially profile. Waiting for a black officer is a massive waste of everyone's time. They should instead enforce racial sensitivity training and methods to prevent police brutality to all officers.

Systemic racism in police departments crosses over to both white and black officers. I do think that having members of individual communities being part of the police force of their community would go a long way but it's just a small piece of the problem.

Okay. Everybody needs to work, I just prefer to leave color out of it. We can just treat everyone like family and care.

Wow! This isn’t the 1950’s any more! Even the former “white bread” neighborhoods are seeing a more diverse population . What needs to occur is education of the ignorant-beginning with those who think that black people aren’t upwardly mobile and live in “their neighborhoods”

Cause the last thing I'd want if caught speeding is to wait for an officer of my own race to show up. No. Give me the damned ticket and let me be on my way. And one can be prejudiced against those of your own race. Where do you think we got the term "white trash" from? I do think more minority officers would help but not in the way you describe.
