Half the time on that show they're kicking some drunk rednecks ass for spittin beer at them. And trust me if the cops had a clear shot of the gunmen at Colombine and knew they wouldn't risk any of the students lives in a raid they would have smoked those motherfuckers like it an't no thang, but the gunmen killed themselves so the police never had the chance.
Police beat and shoot criminals all the time, but its only when its done to a minority that the media makes a big deal over it. Why? because racisim equals rateings to the media and people will go around thinking that police are just as racist as they were in the 1960's. Just because the police were wrong then dosen't mean they're always wrong now.
I'm not saying racial profileing dosen't happen, it does and it sucks, I'm just saying that people shouldn't jump to the conclusion that race has to do with everything.
