The entire point of that scene was the injustice being done to the white cop who was wrongly accused, and how it was being justified because he was though of as being a racist. The message was very clear that it was wrong. but that that's the kind of thing that can happen when people feel they need to "correct" wrong done to others because of racism.

But, I could be wrong.
You misunderstand, read his replies to me. He actually ADMITS he hasn't seen it, and is arguing why he doesn't have to.
I didn't see the movie, which I why I asked about the plot. On the basis of the plot points discussed here, I don't intend to go see the movie. Kind of like relying on a reviewer or on a word of mouth in deciding whether to see a movie. I just don't want to see a movie that takes an ambiguous approach to a person going to jail for a crime they didn't commit. There is enough injustice in this world for me not to want to go see more injustice in a movie.
