New Orleans Police = Part of the problem

This image is of a New Orleans Police officer. In many ways the New Orleans police play a major role in the crime in New Orleans because racism still exist. An example of this is if you were to think of a hypothetical situation. A black male is more likely to be stopped by the police compared to a white male. Police brutality is another prime example of how the police department is apart of crime in New Orleans and throughout the U.S. Tim Wise, a anti-racist activist once said "Imagine that the bullet-spraying cop arrested last week in Nashville had been a young black man. How long would it have taken police to drop him in a hail of bullets?". We all know that in this country issues like this are still raging today and there are many reasons why they exist and the Police are just one aspect of the problem.
