re: #312 Targetpractice

And without looking at the video, I’ll say with complete confidence that the earlier stop was a white girl, which is why he thought nothing of letting her go. He & his superiors will write it off as “discretion,” i.e. “not arresting white people for the shit we’d throw a black man in the slammer for without a second thought.”

I think that’s what makes these so frustrating. Something that a cop would be polite and calm with a white person about seems to be something that they will arrest and go ape shit over a person of color about. There definitely is a problem with racism in our police departments and anyone who denies it is a damned fool.
