And people rarely ask this question about White people killing each other. White indifference to white violence or criminality has no bearing on white credibility to complain about what the state does to them. Ever. Which tells you the question itself isn't credible.

Police violence life cycle:
1. Abuse, brutality, murder occurs
2. Violence is condemned/protested by some and supported/excused by others
3. Media coverage/public attention rises, then falls
4. Nothing is done or what is done fails to address root causes
5. Repeat
