Of course, he’s responsible. He’s not like other presidents and entitled to his own opinion. When cops keep shooting black males without having a valid reason, this president isn’t permitted to address the matter. He’s supposed to either keep his mouth shut or ignore the fact that race definitely plays a role in how willing cops are to shoot blacks faster than they do whites. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a retired professional, but if I go into certain neighborhoods here in Macon, GA, cops are called immediately, and I stand a good chance of being arrested, even though I might be there to visit a former co-worker. This is what life is like for millions of POC on a daily basis. If anyone says these shootings don’t have a racial component, s/he is lying or doesn’t want to admit that a double standard exists in America in regard to how law enforcement deals with POC. Even black police officers are more suspicious of blacks than they are of whites.
