Not trying to argue either just put out what is actual. You're suggesting our police force stems from slave patrols in the 1700's. Where in fact it stems from the first police force in the 1830's started in Boston. The two are not the same and I just putting that out there. If your over all argument is that there is racism in today's police force then you got me there. But it was not made from the slave patrols of the 1700's
