hadn’t committed a crime. If that guy had been black it would have been on the national news for a while. I’m not saying by the way that there isn’t racial bias in policing, there is.
The race element though highly played up, IMHO is not the predominate factor in these force cases. In my experience, most cops divide the world up into citizens that they are protecting, and shitbirds that they are protecting the citizens from. The race of the shitbird is largely irrelevant.
