2. No wonder the union is saying race should be kept out of this.
I didn't know you could major in racial profiling!

3. I don't care if he's the Lord himself
He overreacted and should apologize. He had a bad day. Admit it.

4. It should have been obvious that a well dressed black man must be a crook.
I would hate for this cop to come to my rescue if I ever needed one.
