And that justifies crime how exactly?

Not justifying. Do you not consider the execution of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, with apologies for not naming all those citizens murdered by police, crime? Reform does not justify these or any crimes. Reform attacks crime at root, mass incarceration has failed.

Are you going to mention all the police officers who have been murdered in the past year and a half as well or you just going to stick to your talking points of a crackhead and a drug dealer.

Policing is not carefree and all those officers hurt in the line of duty should be recognized and honored. Also policing itself must be honored by the effort to relieve it of any racist culture. Good police deserve that effort.

Killed, not hurt. 15% of the American people commit over 50% of the violent crime. Is it that fact that has all jails full or is it all the racist white cops?

No 15% of the people are arrested for 50% of the crimes. We know that the US criminal justice system is racist, we don't know by how much. We can estimate it though by the fact that whites and blacks use drugs at the same rate but blacks are 5x as likely to go to jail for it.

Why is that? Is it because of a racist system or is it because of anger control issues among them.

Because poor people are overpoliced relative to middle class and wealthy people are therefore more likely to be arrested for any crimes they might commit.

I know you hate to admit this, but could it be that they just commit all the crime. Let's forget this whole big racist conspiracy story you're trying to spin. Could it just boil down to, they are criminals. Let's forget about drugs, I already said end the drug war. Violent crime

If equal numbers of black and white people do drugs, why do blacks end up in jail for at 5x the rate?

Maybe because they have anger issues and they can't keep their mouth shut.
