I don't understand why you're saying this. Precisely what I'm saying is that this specific case--well, two cases, if you include the Zach Thomas thing--entailed a racial element. I'm not generalizing anything. I'm saying this particular cop clearly let race affect his judgment in two instances. Nobody is saying the guy is always a racist, or that all cops are racist, or that white people hate black people.
I don't think he understood your post.
