Reply to comment by Rosebunse in Miami Police Department unveils new cruiser covered in images of Africa for Black History Month by stevejobs_rim

When I hear "there is no denying this", it sounds like a statement of faith, and no evidence is needed or will be listened to. That is bad. OK, I know Florida has a bad reputation, and I have no reason to defend them. But is that all we are going on? Why make such a blanket generalisation? What evidence? (I'm not there so a real question.) How is that sort of comment any different to race-based comments?

I want you to find three reputable studies or facts which prove or at least suggest that there is reasonably outrageous forms of racism within Florida policing.

Huh? I don't understand. I'm asking someone familiar with the local culture to explain why an African theme is "racist". What you are asking is a whole other level, and I know nothing about it, sorry.

They’re saying anything less than justice is just complacency with racial inequity as part of life.
