^ I'm sure that black cops aren't out there thinking "blue first" just to be assholes.
The reality is much simpler. They deal with tough members of society and are doing their jobs. And that's what public wants and needs them to do, whether some members of the public will admit it or not.
The notion that they should give "special treatment" to people of their own race is preposterous nonsense from liberals behind a desktop who've obviously NEVER had to arrest a violent 19 year old who could be kicking, threatening, or cursing him out. I am wagering that if any of you textbook policy wonk types spent 1 month as a cop working in a gang-infested neighborhood you'd quickly come around to the fact that yeah--this job is dangerous and skin color really is not what's important. Maybe that explains why white and black cops on the same force seem to get along perfectly fine with each other for the most part.
