De Facto Civil War Between Police and the Public?

I suspect that the spiral is real, and there's been more cops killing unarmed black people now than before, and that blacks are killed far more often than whites by cops. And that, cops get off for doing it more than if they kill whites. Racism, discrimination and racial profiling exist, big time. But, grounds for further study.
