White people commit more crime in the US, than black people. However, that would mean in terms of police 'racial experience' would mean that by and far, most police officers would still experience more white criminals - given that around 80-85% of the population is white. Statistically speaking, this idea doesn't really justify 'racial difference in behaviour by the police'.

Statistically speaking, this idea doesn't really justify 'racial difference in behaviour by the police'. This is all rather spurious. If your town has 12% black people and they commit say 80% of the violent crime then that will be enough to influence attitudes. In truth there is no argument to justify the illegal killing of suspects by the police but police culture obviously creates certain attitudes and a certain interpretation of procedure.

But that wouldn't explain the experience of prejudice in areas of low black population. As a defence, this only works if you switch from national to locally defined statistics, to suit your need.

Exactly, and the only point. The worrying propensity seems to be for the US police to be justified in shooting at the slightest possible risk or justification, and that the system has been 'rigged' to protect the state and county over the rights of the suspect. In truth, I think that states and county are happy for it to be about race, rather than competency, recruiting standards, training and protection - because then it reflects on politicians and they'd actually have to do something about it.

What you essentially have is different police forces across america, that have vastly varying degrees of training. We are fortunate over here to have one way of training our coppers, as we do for our Armed Forces, Paramedics, and Fireman. Even different states have different laws FFS, so in the name of all thats holy are you supposed to get an even playing field when it comes to policing. But I do think that in some areas, Black males commit proportionally more crime than white males in the same area. Why that is, I don't know. But I'm sure someone on here will tell me.

I suspect poverty and low income areas are more the issue than race. If you got to poor white areas and poor black areas in crime stats, you tend to see the same types of crimes and patterns existing - and similar cultural phenomena such as ethnic gangs operating and flourishing in those areas. But the main point is key here is that its the different levels of policing and standards that exist in the US that are the key problem here - and that is a big problem. Its notable that areas with high levels of training and recruitment standards, with better wage and careers, seem less problematic in he terms of these incidents. And I think its true that Black shootings by the police is just the visible part of the 'iceberg', and that this is only because the long prevalence of black civil rights movements and their functionality in US politics.

Poverty of moral values Quite, the lack of moral values in capitalism, especially as exhibited in US capitalism, is a major driving force of creating social problems, especially among the poorest members of society.

Nice rhetoric but the effects of capitalism are a reflection of nature. The more able rise to the top and at some point control the game.This trend would result no matter what system was employed. Those who cannot succeed in the system sometimes resort to crime to compensate but poverty in itself is not a justification or a prerequisite to commit crime.
