Alan: The article below is rich with Jon Stewart's insight.
In essence...
Emancipation freed the slaves.
But in the wake of de jure emancipation, American police have ensured that black people "know their place" - a place of subjection, containment and "random" extrajudicial killings when black people get "uppity."
For American Police "Job 1" is to patrol the border between black and white society. But we overlook that they do so at the behest of the American people, not because the police are infiltrated by a few "bad apples."
It is possible that white America has forgotten (or denies) its foundational role in this "All-American segregation."But make no mistake.
White America is The Disease.
Bad cops are the symptoms.
