I can see a basis for the argument that poor police training impacts blacks more than other ethnicities, because black people commit more violent crime and are therefore more likely than other races to have an interaction with the cops.Part of the BLM movement beef is the policing.
Apparently some US Police depts only require a 12-14 week training program and you get the situation where a bad cop gets ousted and goes to the next door county police dept plus they have layers and layers of policing structure. Nothing like here for example and they are also increasingly becoming para military type forces.
This clip is very interesting on altering policing methods in Camden, NJ.
The city that disbanded its police force
Camden, New Jersey, created a brand new police force to forge better ties with the community.www.bbc.com
But I think police training should be a priority regardless of whether some ethnic groups are affected more than another.
