Michael Brown is not the only incident. It seems to be the one you like to focus on because it was a catalyst. Here are all the others:

Please note that the facts of the Ferguson case are accurately described on this page. I don't know why you think that because there are people who don't know the facts of that one case it means the entire history of police killing unarmed black people irrelevant. If you want to convince me that Ferguson is the norm and police are always good, please send the Larry Elder videos for the rest of the hundreds of victims on this list. Until then, I am unlikely to change my view that how we police and prosecute people is a significant part of the racial tension in our country.
I looked for evidence that the data about black people being killed disproportionally and all I can find is that this fact is true. They are killed more frequently per capita than whites. That is not a lie. What I also found from your search link is an explanation for this is that they are more likely to commit crimes. That's a reasonable explanation, but it doesn't debunk the facts. It explains them. While I agree with the basic premise of that explanation, it's not a complete explanation. To get a complete explanation we have to understand why black people commit more crimes.
This is the root of the problem. I attempted to address this in my last post. You brought up the lack of father's in children's lives. This is definitely important. There is more than this for sure, but I agree that we need to do all we can to strengthen families in our country.
Did you have any thoughts on my discussion about respect in my last post?
No more time right now. I'll respond with more later.
