Reply #11: It's rather sad... [View All]

I'm just taking a guess, trying to make some sort of sense of cop sensibilities that make this sort of thing ok in their own eyes... and I find myself thinking of the taxi business.

It's a dangerous business, like law enforcement (moreso, according to the police)... and it often times involves interaction with communities that those on the job may not be familiar with...

Unfortunately, I've seen many taxi drivers decide that it is easier to just "write off" the African American community as "bad people", rather than judge the community like any other community. I get the feeling that many cops do the same. This sort of mental laziness on the part of community involved workers is... beyond frustrating. The justifications for mental laziness/outrightly bigoted behavior are appalling...and yet, in some circles, they are condoned and even justified.

Of course... the police get special consideration... or all these assholes would be fired/prosecuted. An ideal world....
