There is a saying that goes something like; "There are two Americas. One for Blacks and one for Whites." Those of us trying to understand and help the Black community as support, if nothing else, firmly believe this saying.
I have friends who are stopped by the police purely because their skin is not white. Our prison numbers and a report from the U.S. Justice Dept. clearly shows that we are warehousing Blacks and Latinos based on flimsy "evidence" and/or non-violent drug possession.
What's going on right now is just bringing our self-created police state out in the open, and the inherent racism of American police. Trying to silence reporters is another typical behavior of Fascists, and it's clear that Fascism is running rampant through our entire "justice" system.

BTW - I hope you are well and happy, (overall.)
