Is there? It's actually hard to tell. A review of the evidence: https://manhattan.institute/article/fatal-police-shootings-a...

I agree. Police union corruption is a huge issue, "asset forfeiteture" is a total scam, police officer immunity is too strong… But the solution is not "turn a blind eye to all of it until something happens that you can pigeonhole into a politically convenient racial narrative, at which point burn down the city." It also isn't "stop prosecuting crime, and allow criminals to victimize the least privileged people in society with impunity."
