As part of an effort to stop perpetuating racial stereotypes, San Francisco police will stop making public the mug shots of people who have been arrested unless they pose a threat to the public.

Blacks have a significantly higher rate of interaction with the police. Nobody disagrees with this. The question is why?

Liberal hypothesis: police and society in general all fall on a spectrum of racism, with there being no "zero". Everyone who is either non-black or in the police is a racist. Even other blacks who aren't following the BLM playbook are race traitors, acting as racist agents against their own race.

Conservative hypothesis: blacks are involved at a significantly higher percentage in the activities which draw police like moths to a flame. Reasons for this are debated. The racist argument says this is because they are black. The social argument says that liberal policy, implemented by the Democratic party (particularly in inner cities) both black and white, has destroyed social cohesion among the black community, leaving black youth vulnerable to criminal elements, as the black nuclear family has been effectively destroyed.

Not showing photos of black police interactions is just yet another tool to support the liberal hypothesis. Note, however, it does absolutely nothing to address the fact agreed on by both sides. Blacks do interact at a higher level than other races with police. Hiding that fact does not make it go away. Sorry censors.

Last week 2 black cops shot a unarmed black dude to death. I keep waiting for the riots, but...nothing.
