Compared with its peers, America overall does an unusually poor job of solving killings. The murder clearance rates of other rich nations, including Australia, Britain and Germany, hover in the 70s, 80s and even 90s
And yes, its because the cops are racist and break trust with communities

Before anyone goes off and murders a hated family member just realize that most of those sorts of murders get solved. It’s the drive-by, gangland sort of shit that goes unsolved.
If you murder your wife they will catch you.
