Kobe, labelling all US law enforcement as a white supremacist organisation based on some cases is like arguing that the US fire department is a terrorist organisation because some arsonists are attracted to the profession. This tribal narrative doesn't help. It only creates a reason for police to identify even more with these extreme elements. And it encourages good cops to quit instead of enacting change within their departments. This narrative of police generally being an identifiable enemy isn't going to end well.

Surely this is a police vetting and training issue. Other factors, such as a US gun culture and gang culture, that primes police to be more likely to react with excessive force, looks far more difficult to change.
