To the editor:

I do my best to not overreact to the letters and the two columnists that the Sun publishes. However, Tom McLaughlin’s most recent column just is too much for me to not respond. Mr. McLaughlin thinks there is no “systemic racism” in the United States. I find that thought just plain ludicrous.

Ellin, is every opinion you don't agree with 'hatred'? The police are not trained to be racist. There is racism in society but police are very well trained. There are still some bad ones but there are bad people in every profession. The difference with police is racism looks worse because police can use violence to effect an arrest. To say police are trained to be racist is just deplorable.
