Why are police always mean to black people?
<|assistant|>
The short answer is that police are not always mean to Black people; rather, there is a disproportionate amount of police brutality against Black people. This is because the policing industry is historically marked by a lack of trust, distrust and inequity towards communities of color. Despite the equal protection promise of the constitution and equal enforcement of laws, these disparities and biases within policing leads to disparities in enforcement and outcomes. This is further highlighted by the lack of accountability for police officers involved in cases of police brutality or misconduct. This has created a cycle of police violence and oppression against communities of color that continues to persist today.
