Exactly, crime is down and why are Black men still dying. How is it the societal taboo exists with these men?

How many times do I have to complain about cops pulling cars over for minor traffic violations that turn into death by cop? How many times?

The number of police officers shot (click here) and killed in the USA is 44% higher than at this time last year following the Dallas ambush Thursday night that left five officers dead, according to data from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
The deaths of four Dallas police officers and one Dallas transit officer from sniper fire during a protest in the city Thursday raised the national total of firearm deaths among police to 26. This compares with 18 at this point in time in 2015, said Nick Breul, director of research for the fund in Washington, D.C .
Breul said it was also the latest of 11 ambushes of police officers so far this year across the country, already outpacing the eight ambushes of law enforcement that occurred last year....
None of it makes sense. How can crime be down and tensions between Black men and police worse?

Don't start using money as a reason for these deaths on both side of the issue. There are reasons this is occurring and now it is getting worse and not better. Complaining about money is an opportunity and not a reason. Somehow more money paid in police salaries are going to bring the best police on the market and all the unjust killings will end. Does anyone expect me or any Black community to believe that?
So we are great people, right? We can articulate the problem. Wrong, we are not a great people because we are all talk and no resolution.
This is not resolving. Police need to stay away from minor traffic violations. Record the car license number with a video and send the owner a ticket to pay.
SEPARATE BLACK MEN FROM POLICE AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY WHERE THESE DEATHS ARE TAKING PLACE!
Sandra Bland as well was a minor traffic infraction. What happened to her was complete abuse of power from the time the cop put his top light flashers on.
Separate every citizen from the police. Send a citation through the mail no different than intersection cameras. This is ridiculous.
The day Sandra Bland was stopped, the cop was out to make money for the town. She was the second car in that same stretch of road pulled over. ONE RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER. He was looking for trouble to make his monthly quota. It is extremely obvious. He had a chance to take a traffic stop and roll it into a larger amount of money by arresting her and that is exactly what he did. It is abuse of power. Stop the police from pulling cars over for minor traffic infractions.
