The reaction from the cops is predictable. They have an extreme systemic bias from decades of poor recruiting and training efforts. Being black, brown, gay, or transgender is a sure way of being approached with suspicion and an increased potential to escalate encounters beyond a casual stop. This has been a problem that I've referenced many times over the past 15 years, especially after the infamous DHS report on extremism was swept under the rug in 2009.

Cops have connections to many of the groups identified in the report. Many cops are proud members of the three percenters, some wearing the patch on their uniforms against policy, but allowed to do so because of the brotherhood. The Oathkeepers have a huge contingent as well, again proudly displayed on personal vehicles. Here in the southwest we have a group called the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Keepers Association who are basically anti-brown people. The Proud Boys movement has a unique connection to law enforcement. Law enforcement is a big problem in the United States. They need to be more focused on peace keeping than law "enforcement" and they need to be more representative of the communities they serve. It's cultural, and that culture needs to change.
