Black citizens

"Go to any predominantly minority neighborhood in any major American city and you'll hear the same stories: decades of being sworn at, thrown against walls, kicked, searched without cause, stripped naked on busy city streets, threatened with visits from child protective services, chased by dogs, and arrested and jailed not merely on false pretenses, but for reasons that often don't even rise to the level of being stupid."

The fraction that get killed by thugs are the tip of the iceberg, but they keep civil rights defenders busy; millions of attacks and arrests of black citizens who can't do anything about it.

It starts with racist policies in thug departments, covered by the figleaf of "stop and frisk" policies, continues through systematic false accusations by thugs, and they bury complaints as a condition of dropping the false charges.
