That guy would have died in the same way — if he’d been white.

Nothing would have changed.

A very good and important point.

Cops nowadays seem to have little regard for anybody, whether black, white, or purple.

They can, literally, get away with murder, and that influences their behavior.

I'll be amazed if this officer is convicted even in a supposedly cut-and-dried case like this...

When it comes to "us vs. them" mentality, many here & elsewhere think they are viewed as "us" by their government & law enforcement when, in reality, they are viewed as "them".
