Who's calling it political extremism?
"but the reality is that they are being targetted with increased rates and there are far more examples of black (men in particular) people being killed by cops despite them being a minority in the US"
>Or because of the greater reporting on bad interactions between police and black men, too many black men are more paranoid as a result when it comes to police thus interactions between black men and police are sabotaged from the outset. I'm sure most get nervous when interacting with police; for a black man, regularly confronted with tales of brutality, are reasonably more fearful on average than their lighter counterparts...
And police are human too. They get nervous too and they're trained to always be ready and when confronted with a nervous black man, more nervous than they're used to with other people, they might be put more on edge fearing the person they've detained or pulled over might be armed or perhaps could be concealing something incriminating in their car. I can't blame them though, things can go from 0 to 100 in the blink of an eye. Officer Riley Jarecki can tell you about that:

"People like you are the reason it needs to be made clear now more than ever that systemic racism is a very real and very pervasive thing"

The cop in that vid did panic for sure,that's not the best behaviour.
Take cover and shoot tires and when the driver gets out she could have shot his legs or she could call for backup when he drove away after shooting the tires.
I wonder about the entry exam for police training and how they train them to behave under stress.

Panic? She was fired at short range and she still managed to operate, call the radio and shoot back. That's damn impressive.
What happens under sudden heavy stress load is something you might not be able to control and it's something that's hard to test or practise.
Bit fucking much to ask for shooting tires or legs at that point. I'd take her as my patrol partner any day.
