> If you really want to evaluate the intent and truth of this story, ask yourself why the title is: Bodycam video shows LAPD cop planting drugs on black suspect <

I gotta tell you, that title did bother me. Why was it necessary to give the race of the suspect? Just to get folks more riled up than they already are?

I even looked at a few other articles that covered this story. Thought about posting one of them instead. But then this snip from the Post article pretty much convinced me that, like it or not, the race angle might be relevant after all:

"The LAPD has had a notoriously bad relationship with the black community, with countless men and women coming forward with claims of police brutality and discrimination over the years."

Let me ask you this:

If the suspect had been white, do you think you would even have heard of this case ?
