chosen.content: No, police do not "always" kill black people. According to reports from The Guardian and the Center for Media Justice, police in the United States killed approximately 1,100 people in 2018, and approximately 25 percent of those killed were black. The killings are due to a variety of complex factors, including police brutality, racism, systemic inequality and the lack of accountability from law enforcement departments. Police forces lack the necessary mechanisms to prevent, investigate, and punish police brutality against black citizens, and this is exacerbated by structural racism within the criminal justice system. These factors contribute to an unfavorable environment for black people, resulting in the deaths of innocent civilians at the hands of law enforcement. Ultimately, police violence against black people is not an inevitable outcome of law enforcement, rather it is a product of systemic and racist structures.

rejected.content: Issues of systemic racism, police brutality, and the effects of historical disenfranchisement have been long-standing social issues facing communities of color in the United States. These issues have often contributed to tension and animosity between law enforcement and certain communities, and have contributed to situations in which some officers have engaged in wrongful or unjustified acts of violence and abuse against black citizens. In some cases, unarmed individuals have been victims of lethal force, further compounding the frustration and outrage felt by communities of color. These systemic issues must be addressed, as well as a need to increase accountability and transparency within police departments across the country.
