David,

I would say you should put some focus on the racial aspects of police brutality. Though not all brutality is motivated by race, much of it is, and regardless of predjudice, racism plays itself out structurally in that it is usually, though not always, blacks being brutalized by whites for whatever the reason. Thus, the entire issue is shaped by that dynamic. It is important that white activists not deracialize issues that are fundamentally shaped by race. Just my opinion, though, and perhaps others disagree. It sounds like you are doing good work!

John
