There's still racism in the US. It wasn't so long ago that a black man who fought for his country wasn't allowed to sit down in any cafe and have a coffee. If he protested about that he could expect to get a beating, often from a cop.

Crime in higher in poorer communities there are more blacks and other minorities in poorer communities.

The proliferation of guns in the US makes it highly likely a perpetrator of a crime or person of suspicion is going to be armed.

Poorer people can afford to have a gun and are more likely to murder someone. Police are in fear of their lives in certain situations. And this is the crux of the situation, the police are shooting first and asking questions second.

In many instances, there are alternatives to shooting someone. Too many US police are taking the better option. How many videos of US police beating a person up for no real reason are there? Now compare them to UK police.

In saying all that. Too many Americans are crazy dumbnuts who need to take a chill pill. Someone has to be stupid too argue with a guy with as gun.
