If black leadership doesn't want the consequences of community policing/law enforcement, maybe they should do it themselves. If the officers are all black maybe there would be less racial tension in communities?

And if didn't work (I don't think it would) maybe they regain some respect for LE and we move back to community policing without race standards (i.e. requiring all officers to be a certain background for certain communities).

It would be up to them compare which system better protected black folks and in which system black lives mattered.

Nuts?
If I have 100% constitutional carry and can fly with my gun, sure, they can police themselves till the cows come home. After all, they've done such a great job of governing themselves by virtue of whom they elect to represent their communities.

This may have already been said, but the Law enforcement community is a reflection of society, and there will be racists, assholes, and crooks. Do we need to police the ranks? Certainly. However, that's not to say that local PD should be disbanded and the natives left to fend for themselves. can you imagine the chaos? Supreme leader would like this, he could declare martial law and retain the throne.
