Your statement ...
"... police are not perfect and do some bad things sometimes to people of colour, they do a hell of a lot more good for them than harm ..."

Where does it say in police oaths of duty that 'more good than harm' is acceptable?

It isn't acceptable and it isn't good enough, cops have a lot of problems with internal culture, they have a lot of problems in general, they do bad stuff all the time, there needs to be more training, more oversight etc.

A lot of the problem is that black people and cops don't understand each other, and when they interact it's usually when a crime has occurred, which isn't exactly a situation where it's easy to make friends and come together.  So when cops are on the beat and statistically a much higher % of young black black men and aboriginals are committing crimes they're investigating, some cops are going to start stereotyping or making assumptions about every young black male that isn't wearing a nice suit.

I'm saying maybe it would be better for these 2 groups to interact more in non-criminal ways.
