“The Biden Justice Dept. has determined that the Memphis Police Dept. is racist and targets black people. The national media is blaming white folks for the problems in Memphis -- comparing the Tyre Nichols case to what happened in Minnesota with George Floyd. So, I feel compelled to bring some facts to the conversation:
1. The mayor is black.
2. The police chief is black.
3. The chair of the city council is black.
4. 7 of the 13 city council members are black.
5. 5 of the 8 MPD command staff are black.
6. More than 50 percent of the MPD officers are black.
7. Over 90 percent of the suspects in homicides are black. And over 90 percent of the victims are black.
8. The 5 officers charged in the horrific beating death of Mr. Nichols - all black.
9. AND ALL OF THE DECISION MAKERS IN MEMPHIS ARE DEMOCRATS.
Facts may be inconvenient for the Left, but facts still matter.”

You need to get out more!
This is why it's called institutional racism Spott.
Some organizations are biased against certain types of individuals and regardless of the racial demographics of the present manifestation of that organization it may still act in an unfair manner towards certain historically socioeconomically depressed groups. It's in the organizations DNA. Regardless of the racial makeup of the officers deployed they don't need their attitudes towards certain groups policed. They do it naturally.

"This is one of 12 investigations into law enforcement agencies opened by the Justice Department under Section 12601 since April 2021. In 2023 and 2024, the department issued findings reports regarding five of those investigations:
* the Louisville, Kentucky, Metro Police Department
* Minneapolis Police Department
* Phoenix Police Department
* Lexington, Mississippi, Police Department, and
* Trenton, New Jersey, Police Department."
Each city "engaged in a pattern or practice of conduct that violates the U.S. Constitution and federal law."
The five other ongoing investigations cover the Louisiana State Police; Mount Vernon, New York, Police Department; New York City Police Department’s Special Victims Division; Oklahoma City Police Department; and Rankin County, Mississippi, Sheriff’s Department.
