One part of the problem has been identified: Traffic Stops with police can end violently. The data is not there to convince me that it happens often but it's prevalent enough in modern society to be a partial problem that people can logically think about fixing.
There have been some musings around to suggest that traffic stops are the first step in solving the preconceived police brutality issue. I would say that the people bringing this to light are pretty spot on in their analysis so far. However, I am unclear what to make of how to go about reforming these stops. Pointing out some part of the problem is one thing, but I am not sure how to fix the "problem".
Various people have referred to traffic stops as drug busts because they often lead to contraband, but the black community really shouldn't be pissed off about that. The WHITE community should be: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ding-more-illegal-stuff-with-white-drivers-2/
I think it is very unsafe to allow people to get away with such and such amount of marijuana, heroin, or meth in the car. As many of the proponents of Traffic Stop Reform tend to do. That to me makes me think that the people bringing this up are not really serious about solving that problem and just want lighter drug sentences. However, I do not think that these people should be thrown in jail next to murderers and rapists.
So how would you reasonably deal with this problem? Because I am not seeing any solutions from this crowd, even though it is a very important part of the problem to highlight.
