Three causes of Ignorance:

Orly,
I am a black female and I have experienced systematic racism my whole life.
I have cousins who are cops who have experienced systematic racism in the police force
We are not even counting the statisics of black officers experiencing racism from their white counterparts
Just like all statistics alot of data is not being collected because people want to keep their jobs and put food on the table and a roof over their heads
And the data people claim to show this low count I do not find confidence in the collection. Why?
We continue to have too many officers and judges being convicted of falsifying arrests data and reports and still with video people are not getting justice.
So no you have not experienced systemic racism but I have, my coworkers, my friends my church members and alot of folks in the black community have. How many times will we report it? To whom? So we can get fired but we just live with it to be able to pay our bills.
I have heard time and time again police dept destroying entire records for many years because they know when reviewed it will show issues they dont want to explain. Just like Breonna Taylors police report being blank submitted to the public.
I hope this gets posted because lately I havent seen any of my stuff being posted.

Yes, it is being posted. I have never seen any posts with this name, so there were never any comments from you that were not posted, nothing was hidden.
I would like to see specifics. You said you experienced racism. Where and how?
