who patrolled the subway about why he didn't have more black men collars.

The commander even calls black men "bad guys".

That's what's drilled into cops heads, and I'm sure it's not just in New York.

This kind of training in nothing but racism. A wholesale new paradigm of training thought is needed, one that stresses deescalation of situations with gun play being the absolutely last resort.
