Bad Cops and Bad Youth, we need help

I am tired of hearing about black youth and/or black men being killed unintentionally! We have a serious problem happening and things need to change. First we must acknowledge that all cops are not bad and racist. Second, all black youth with sagging pants, tilted hats, hoodies and t-shirt are not a menace to society. Third, all black men do not have criminal records!! What we should be concerned about is bad cops and the youth causing havoc. Also, how cops can be wrong and get a slap on the wrist. The accountability of bad cops committing unethical acts is questionable. Its time to figure out how to get rid of the negative actions from both parties (bad cops and bad youth). What causes youth violence and how can we stop it? Why do some cops engage in police brutality and how can we stop it? How can we get the police and community to come together on one accord to understand we all want peaceful communities? Is racial profiling necessary? Does police recruiting and training need to be improved? Do police need consistant mental health services even when they show no problems? There are so many layers to the problem that its difficult for me to focus on ideas of solutions. How can we decrease the amount of prisons being build and decrease crime rates simultaneously? Can anyone address some of these issues focusing on the education system, the legal system, law enforcement, social services programs etc. I encourage you to take a stab at it be respectful but keep it 100.
