Press TV has interviewed E. Michael Jones, editor at the Culture Wars from Tehran, and Frederick Peterson, US congressional defense policy advisor from Connecticut, to discuss the policy brutality against the black population in the United States.

Jones argues that, historically speaking, “outside groups” in the United States have tried to turn black communities into revolutionaries and radicalized people in order for those groups to make up an excuse to kill the blacks.

Since the 9/11 attacks, police officers have been forced to accept “military type technology,” Jones says.

The local police department looks upon its own citizens as a foreign enemy, Jones says. “There is mutual suspicion and, as a result, you have police overreacting and then the people overreacting and then you have this national problem.”

Peterson, for his part, says that sometimes police officers feel their lives are threatened, but they must be trained more properly to tackle critical situations. He adds that there is a dangerous situation where some people want to provoke others and make trouble in the United States.
