@onceanlsufan The Defund the Police crowd says we can make everything better with community policing. I see people out there saying,"Why didn't the cops call one of Rayshaun's friends of family and let them come pick him up? Why did you have to start a problem by trying to arrest him?" First of all, that's the police's job, enforcing the law, not being a taxi dispatching service. Second, if the "community policing" model is so much better, why didn't one of the people who saw Rayshaun sleeping in his car go knock on his car window and offer to call him a ride? No one did that, but someone did call the police. Probably because they were more concerned with the fact that someone sleeping in the line was making them have to wait longer for their double burger. Community policing will depend on everyone putting someone else's needs ahead of their own. The problem with that is there will always be selfish bastards out there.

Has a police officer ever shot a black man who wasn't a model citizen? Not according to the mainstream media.
