“Steve Chapman is a communist and editorial writer for the Chicago Tribune. In this article are blacks to blame for cops actions that is published on December 5th 2014 Chapman points out that black communities and how they conduct themselves is the cause of cops actions.” After reading his article on ‘Are blacks to blame for the cops actions?’. I agree that blacks are to blame for cops actions in today’s society the reason why is because the problems is in the black community. African Americans are stereotyped based off of the crimes they commit although it is wrong just judge the whole race however majority of crimes that are committed in the black community are black-on-black crimes which is the highest same race crime in the U.S. On top of that African Americans has the highest rate of prisoners in the U.S. With these problems result in high policing in certain areas which are predominately black communities to limit the black on black crime but with this action there is an increasing rate of arrest that will be black people. African Americans also in jail in the US have committed a large share of violent crimes which can portray them to be a violent race. This gives police officers no other option but to be on guard when approaching a African-American for their safety and civilian safety surround them. To resolve this problem in today’s society African Americans will need to worry about what’s wrong in their communities instead of blaming the police academy. By fixing their communities can proceed them to be a better race and allow them to progress. Which will result in less policing and stereotyping in the negative light which overall will lower there crime rate and the concerns of police towards the African American race.
