Do we have black/white problem, or do we have cop/black problem.. I have PROOF that it's cop/black

Hello:

Given my username, you know I'm as anti cop as anybody on these pages.  I don't like 'em at all..   So, here's what happened..

Years ago I did some extra work in movies..  The movie Dangerous Affection, starring Jimmy Smits and Judith Light was being filmed in Seattle..  We were shooting outside the ACTUAL police headquarters in downtown Seattle, and I was playing a cop..  My uniform was IDENTICAL to the Seattle cops..  During the course of the morning, I had to visit the restroom, so I went inside.  As I'm walking down the hallway, a REAL cop is struggling with a black guy.  He asks for my help, so I helped..

Clearly, it's the uniform.   I was only a cop for half a day, and I was already beating up black people..

    I don't think we can say, nationally, it's one or the other. I think societal racism can vary greatly depending on region and I'm sure that probably applies to law enforcement as well. But I've no doubt there are a multitude of other, equally important variables to consider when having that discussion.

    I do think we have a problem with increasing abuses of authority. Or does it appear that way because we've greater access to information than ever before? It was only recently that the federal govt. found it pertinent to even keep track of officer involved shootings, so we've little to compare.

    Do a google search for statistics. Results are depressing.
