We are seeing it isn't all police and all departments, but the reactions like abusing media, pushing elderly to the ground, shooting bystanders with rubber bullets show that this isn't just a small issue, it seems to be part of the culture of some departments. And yes, it ultimately manifests in PoC bearing the brunt of it.
