23. But there is no racism on the Force, nope, no sir.

It must be hard for minorities to be cops in some areas. I salute each and every minority that takes on the system and becomes a law enforcement officer. MAYBE THAT IS what we need in this country! Break the white man's stranglehold on the Force.

She should still be an officer serving the community, yet she DARED...she DARED touch a white man that was choking the life out of a black man. She DARED. Seems sometimes we have made ZERO progress in areas like racism in law enforcement. Racism in politics. Racism in the M$M.

It pisses me off to no end that she was treated like a 'bad cop', all the while she was trying to reign in a bad cop. And the system went along with the bad cop and threw the good one away like she didn't even matter as a human being.

Are their any minority police union leaders? There has to be some.
