I am stating is it is human nature(basic survival skills) to let past events affect the way you handle future circumstances. If you do not do this, well you lack basic survival skills and won't last long anyways (if you are in a position where your life is repeatedly in danger). I personally know 2 white cops who were murdered in cold blood (before this BLM mess) by black people. They only made local news. One was shot while trying to arrest someone, he was pursueing a young black man and when the young man reached behind him... he did not shoot, so he my friend is now dead. One was sitting in his car and a black man walked up and shot him in the head. Cops are not eager to kill people. However, they want to stay alive. You said you are from the UK. you guys ended slavely earlier than we did and did a much much better job of intergrating former slaves into society than my ancestors did. My generation is now paying for their mistakes. |
I'm going to tell you one more time if you still don't understand than we'll leave it at that, the issue is not how he became that way, human nature or any of that it's his ability to police while he is affected that way. In the UK someone would never be allowed to police in that state a key example being a woman who was turned down from joining the police force because she was affected from her mother's death in an armed robbery leading to fears in her assessment that she may be driven by revenge rather than the mentality to police impartially. It's nothing against the people you know but for the good of both the public and the police force anyone affected in that way shouldn't police.
The UK we have our problems especially recently but the reason we're more successful being diverse than most if not all countries is a combination of things on top of integration but the main thing is the British mentality of us just being one group and the diversity being taken and treated by most people as a proud trait which is why racism is seen as an attack on everyone and one of the country's best traits. We are a country where almost everyone is descended from either a migrant, family from the former colonies we invaded or invader from the dark ages after all so it was diverse before most countries.
