Oh I see so there isn't a problem of systemic racism in the US.
I'm glad that's sorted out.

No there isn't.
What law discriminates based on race in your opinion?

Why do you ask? We literally just established that there's no systemic racism in the US
and of course systemic racism means explicit laws codified to do harm to black people.

Oh nevermind, I just thought you might want to elaborate on that conspiracy theory of yours a little bit more.

No I'm not. What gave you that impression?
As far as I'm accustomed with the US justice system it seems to be one of the better ones. Better than most alternatives at least. Before you start crying about mass incarceration, here is a splendid idea: Stop breaking the fucking law!

Best of all the principles! Works out quite well as far as i know.
This is also why you comply when the police tries to apprehend you, so can have your day in court.
Certainly don't behave like the guy with the domestic abuse record and sexual assault charges in the current video.

maybe don't provoke such behaviour in the first place?

eax, you fall into the trap of believing that these protest are just about the floyd of some other isolated event
These are simply particularly egregious examples caught on film of a very common experience for african americans, but an uncommon one for white americans. If you listen to the testimony of protesters, it's a repeated refrain, and something you don't get from 5 second news clips of people marching. They've been unfairly victimised by police multiple times, along with most people they know. Not Floyd. Not this wife beater. Them. And they're hugely and justifiably pissed off and don't want to put up with it anymore, particularly because they feel that they now live in a land where the president sympathises with white supremacists. Floyd was just the straw that broke the camels back.
Perhaps with Niel de Grasse Tyson, a physicist not noted for hyperbole or politics, might you understand what's behind the protest: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJqn124pmHY

It’s not the law so much as its application. If you overwhelmingly stop and search one type of person, you are using the law selectively. When that ‘type’ is an ethnic group, it is reasonable and accurate to describe this as institutional racism.
