You must have missed the news were a man was choked to death for selling loose cigarettes. Maybe you did not see the video of a man being shot in the back as he ran from a traffic stop for a "broken taillight". I guess you did not see the 14 YO girl thrown to the ground in TX. You must have missed the video of another girl thrown to the tile floor by the school cop. How about the special ride that killed a prisoner - not in the news you read apparently.  No. No police brutality at all. 

As for your assertion that the reasons have changed - they are all part of the same racism in law enforcement. While police killings are about equal, blacks face significantly more physical assaults by the police. Hey - didn't Denver just pay out for killing an inmate? Oops - no police violence at all.
