1) Whether or not this fear poses an immediate threat to individuals is irrelevant. We aren't talking about being scared of sharks. We're talking about the criminal justice system, which from top to bottom is racist. Now you aren't likely to end up having to deal with this, but you can bet that if a black or brown person does somehow get tangled up with the CJS then they'll be facing some racism.

So on an individual level should I be constantly on guard? No.

As a society should we be constantly on guard? Yes.

2. No one is "All OF A SUDDEN" upset or panicked about police brutality, at least not the black community. It's just that now we have a bunch of fucking video to back up what had us panicked before.
