This caved-in head Wojak is the wrong response to what's happening. The complaint is not about police "brutality". They don't really care how many people are unfairly treated by police. They only care that blacks are arrested far more than whites. To them, since we are all a priori equal, there is no reason except racism that blacks would be arrested more (and therefore treated unfairly by police more).

It's not about abolishing the police completely - it's about abolishing the current system and remaking it. It will be remade in a way that deliberately targets white people for crimes they commit, while reducing charges for the crimes black people commit. For example, making it no longer a felony to assault a police officer, while changing the definition of self-defense so white people can't defend their property from rioters and looters. Rebuilding a "police force" to target "white supremacists" (meaning - ordinary white people who don't hate themselves), while turning a blind eye to black gang violence because to deal with that would be "racist".

'racism' or any ism seems to always be used to take the focus away from the real issue.

why do you think police arrest a certain group more than others? the skin color is an issue? really? it wouldn't happen to be because that certain group is more prone to violence than any other group on the planet?
