And pointing to Minneapolis as equally troubled (or worse) does nothing g to change the individual merits or deficiencies aforementioned.

But, you seem to like the other kids do it too argument.

As for Minneapolis, "others do it too," I don't really know, but perhaps the greater segregation of communities in the North than the South these days makes it even more difficult to overcome the attitudes and actions of cops. But, it wasn't really an "others do it too" comment, because if Minneapolis had made as many changes in police departments as metropolitan Southern departments have in the last 75 years since Humphrey was a mayor, I don't know that we'd be seeing riots there on our TVs.
