"That community"
I will bet you the parents of players from "that community" love the presence of cops in their neighborhood because they are hard working law bidding citizens that have nothing to hide

Poverty, Crime and the lack of education have a real "intimate" relationship. Yes, it's a vicious cycle.
A heavy handed approach by police will not address the ills of the black or Latio community. Punishing a population that has very little to lose is counter productive and dangerous. If we don't address the lack of education and poverty in these communities very little will change.
Before we condem the men and women in blue who police violent areas we need to understand them. I believe the police quickly become a product of their environment because that's what it takes to survive. So, their kill or be killed mindset sends a message of intimidation and fear, which in turn generates anger and mistrust in the community. Quite a departure from the Caucasian community where a policeman is completely at ease and relaxed whether he's giving a ticket or watching a HS football game with residents from the community he patrols.

Tough to do when gangs and drug dealers subvert and sabotage education and learning by any means neccessary.
I have amazing respect for kids and parents that have the brains and balls to resist them, sometimes with fatal consequences

Why would it?
It's been stated ad nauseum that anything posted here has zero influence on recruits. Carry on.
I would bet most parents of our players are law abiding citizens that work hard and would want nothing more than to feel safe in their own neighborhoods and have a mutual relationship with the police. Many bad apples and rotten people i.e. "the bad guys" do not represent the sentiments of the entire community and in fact have played a major role in damaging/causing mistrust with the relationship in regards to the police. At the end of the day, everyone wants the best for their families...unfortunately for many the vicious cycle becomes normalized because of ignorance.
Perhaps, but it speaks volumes that guys like you get apoplectic about blacks who are deemed even a tiny bit racist against whites but racism against blacks or anyone else, even when it leads to innocent deaths, doesn't elicit the same response.
This seems like something that you don't actually know, so are really just fabricating.
And the Black Panthers weren't "a tiny bit racist against whites". Seems, also, like you've got some reading to do.
Also, you should read my posts on the Princeton professor thread.
Of course the coward ran off and hid in the fog after posting that bullsh*t!
I don't keep my hottest minority chicks in a separate list. Olivia Munn and Sofia Vergara are right up there with Mila Kunis. I guess I'm just a crazy millenial. I'll get off the lawn and go back to my EDM and smartphone now.
I just hope you remember in this discussion that once upon a time, our ancestors were considered not white, to be of the wrong religion, and to be part of a Communist plot to overturn American social order- and they were literally killed for the mere crime of having Italian ancestry. The same language applied to blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims today applied to Italians and Jews and Germans and Irish before them. And it should never be forgotten.
Just remember that when we talk about minorities and immigrants and who should be registered or banned or not worry about cops or what not. Because I even see it in my generation, Italian Americans have way too short a memory on these issues and unfortunately our grandparents have mostly departed. I'm glad I spoke to mine and I will make sure my kids know what it meant to be the "other."
My mother was born in 1928 Angela Roberti in East New York Brooklyn. Her mother registered her for school as 'Ann Roberts' so she wouldn't suffer the discrimination other Italians endured at this time.
And in the 1940s in queens, my mother's family, anti-nazis who fled hitler, were called german jews by their Italian neighbors, though they weren't jewish, had rocks thrown at them and my uncle had dogs sent after him when he would get on his bike.
