Re: Those US Police killers again!
I didn't believe that OJ committed murder, at the time of the trial. His case was unprecedented, and still is. Not only was he a sports hero, he was also in commercial, tv, and movies. If you laughed along with him in the "Naked Gun" movie series, like me, and millions of others, it was hard to believe that person was capable of involvement in a murder plot. I still remember the name of his character in the movie series, 'Nordberg'. For most Blacks, supporting OJ was not because we wanted a man to get away with murder. We believed his story as well as the jury.
A caste system is deeper than a class system. That implies that the society is targeting certain groups of people, to intentionally exclude them from things available to others. Laws, and selective enforcement of them are major tools, in caste systems. Removing race as a factor, I think a good example would be the conflict between protestants and catholics in Northern Ireland. Here's an example here; some communities have made sagging pants, a crime subject to arrest, I believe. But nowhere is a crime for women to wear low rise jeans. And sometimes their butt crack in visible in those pants. I saw a white woman yesterday, with her crack visible. Sagging pants, is a poor fashion choice, but a crime? You might ask why would a young man wear a style that might give him negative attention? I can draw from my own youth, long ago. I was jumped twice in short period. Then I went out and bought a jean suit, like the Black Panthers wore. After that, people were crossing to the other side of the street when they saw me coming, even some people my own age! From hearing about the recent experiences of my great nephews, things haven't change that much, just the styles.

Re: Those US Police killers again!
Every body makes good points and sometimes opposing sides can both be right depending which hat you're wearing, but, even focusing on one topic like police shooting innocent civilians....cross examination is going to prove nobody here has a real answer to the problem without spending tons of money we don't have. If you pressure police too much they're going to crack and start spending their days poolside with the kids. Or just become walking talking burn-outs, mailing it in til their pension comes up. There's a reason cops retire after twenty years, there's a reason they become corrupt, and right or wrong there's a reason they are race profilers. The cops aren't really paid to fix people's lives, they fix immediate problems.
