There ARE racist cops. Don’t get me wrong, but there are a he|| of a lot more cops who are just POORLY trained.
Hawaii still doesn’t have any real standards despite a recent state law mandating them:

Other states have educational and training requirements, but you can be a cop for up to a year in some cases before you need to actually meet those standards.

Why should we expect cops to do a good job when we give them dangerously inadequate training and supervision?
