Quote:It's true anybody can be a victim of police brutality irregardless of race.  That's not to say that personal prejudices don't come in to the equation with some of these encounters.  They obviously do since cops are human like anybody else, and in some (rare) cases they are not what I would consider a 'quality' human being.  They're just as bad as the criminals they get paid to arrest.

I think you bring up a good point. Cops are human to. They have to make split second decision based on information available as they arrive on scene. Further adding to the pressure is when an individual is non compliant and dangerous. The public is too quick to judge based on race and limited information instead of actual circumstance. Instant media has made everybody an expert.
