1. If a white professor screamed at a black cop... |
|
..."this is what happens to white men in America" and then began to insult his mother while the neighborhood looked on, I would dare say that such a person WOULD be arrested.

5. ... might be arrested, if the cop was having a really bad day. |
|
And, the charges would be dropped.

The cop added that statement, being creative, trying to come up with some kind of insult he figured a black man would use to qualify his trumped up police report.

11. And just about everybody missed how racist the 911 operator was. |
|
"are they white, black, or hispanic?"
What, Asians aren't man enough to be burglars? Asian men don't have the guts to break into people houses? What's up with that? That's fucked up.
Fire him.
