Social Chicago police profiling or justified?

Don't know if any BLM groups have said about it but this is a problem many black community activists have discussed across the country for years. Police being held accountable for their actions would go along way to establishing trust with black communities. Especially black communities in Chicago who have an especially strained relationship with cops.

If cops can improve that relationship and prove they are trustworthy then you will see more cooperation from black communities.
The problem is, no matter what lengths the cops go to prove this, it'll never enough
 
If you're a white cop working in a mostly black area most of your arrests will be black peoples.

If you're a black cop working a white area it works the same.

It's very easy to twist it though to fit the media narrative.
 
Ever been through airport security? Black TSA works have no problem profiling anything with a hint of brown in their skin.
 
Various titles of news articles say black boys are more likely to be shot by Chicago police. These titles push the narrative that police unfairly profile black men in Chicago. But if you read further down,

"When you look at the map, 80 percent of narcotics arrests, gun arrests and gang arrests happen in these poor areas," he told the newspaper. "Where you've got dope, you've got guns. It's not about ethnicity — it's about criminal involvement."

"Most of the police shootings took place in South and West Side neighborhoods beset by gang violence and poverty."

Are these titles misleading?

Arshell Dennis, a 19-year-old son of a Chicago police officer was shot and killed Sunday morning, hours before he was due to return to college in New York.

Arshell apparently made a video about his experiences with police. He said he was pulled over and profiled. He wasn't killed by police. It is believed Arshell was shot as part of gang initiation or mistaken identity.

Arshell is one of over 50 black people shot and killed in August. He was also one of over 350 black people shot during the month of August. These are just the numbers that I could confirm. There were 75 people killed by gunshot and around 370 shot during the month of August in Chicago.

He sounds like a fkn idiot, with respect to his life and death. Hip hop didn't start the way it says he did, and it's more about promoting the struggle than anything.

He starts to sound more reasonably intelligent when he talks about poetry, but the seriousness the black community puts on rap is a hilarious tragic comedy.. And it's spreading.

EDIT: Having finished it, the kid wasn't stupid. Rip. He sounded like a few too many talking points.
