i think it shows even though police shooting innocent people is a very common news item in the USA middle class white folk still see the police as good guys who are there to protect them.

i guess the more high profile shooting of white people that occure that may well change.

there are many areas in cities of the USA where coloured people run at the sight of a police cruiser in their neighbourhood.

i rekon the same reaction will be happening in white areas too soon.

its not very difficult to find video evedence on the internet of cops 'earning the hate' on the streets of america. one of the problems are the guys and girls they choose to hire for the job, ex military. people trained to act first then ask questions, which is fine in a war zone but not in residential places.

they have a 'i'm in charge, you do what i say....OR ELSE!' attitude. and the police set up backs them even when they completely screw up. cops rarely face charges for any crimes they commit when wearing their uniforms. if the Department gets sued, its taxpayers who pay the payout, not the officer or even his department.

and the poor smuck whos been set apon by these screwups, they need money to sue, its not free. getting a lawyer to take on govt is not easy and its expensive. if you win you'll most likely lose all you got paying the lawyers.
