I always knew the Liberal academia was white-centric but this level of ignorance is astounding!

I've read so many police brutality cases where the officer has a hispanic last names. Hispanics are the fastest growing police ethnicity, but are still under represented as a portion of population. and while having a Hispanic last name doesn't mean they self identify that way, it does seem like poc cops try to prove themselves to their colleagues by brutality. When was the last nationally reported police murder that was exclusively white officers? Tyre Nichols, George Floyd, and Freddie Gray all included multiple poc murderers.

Research suggests that more black officers in a white dominated police force actually increases fatal encounters, and only once there is a near majority do fatalities decline again. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/02/04/513218656/does-having-more-black-officers-reduce-police-violence
