When it comes to RACE, then there are often problems identifying someone of a DIFFERENT race. When it is the SAME RACE, then there is less of a problem.

Not true. Also, police have been known to "suggest" a perp to the victim. There was a case I remember from tv not too long ago where it seems that the guy convicted of rape had managed to avoid some drug charges, and the cops were just finding a way to put him in jail.

IT IS TRUE.

When a person of one race say white, tries to identify another race, say BLACK, there is often a problem. The reverse is true as well. RACE IS A MAJOR ISSUE when it comes to identifying people. To whites, most blacks all look alike. To whites, most Asians all look alike. People are better at identifying their OWN RACE. THAT is a FACT. It's been proven many times in studies and when people are falsely accused.

Of course there are some corrupt cops who want to railroad a person but this is NOT the majority!

Geesh, you sound like an Obama person ... listen to what you are saying. You are limping all the police into a corrupt pile. It simply isn't so that they are ALL like that. The majority of cops are decent people with remarkable self control. They don't get paid nearly enough for the ABUSE they withstand on a daily basis.
