I was counting on this reaction, and I thank you all for the input. I'm proud of myself and my generation for being better than our predecessors when it comes to these issues, but the changes have come slowly and are distributed unevenly. Imagine how long such changes might take in other parts of the world, like say, Iraq? Thats another story.
Cops are cops, with all the tendencies of government employees, and with the burden of being a target on the front line against human weakness. I suppose it's been easy enough for me to stay clear of the fray being cracker white with a normal appearance, I've never been arrested. I do have a great deal of empathy for my countrymen who are liable to face this injustice every time they leave the house.
