For those who defend police or Black criminals in every case, this is why you can never make sweeping generalizations because one or the other will always do something stupid and your comment will come back to bite you in the behind.

Even if a person has the intellectually ability to pass the test they may not have the psychological health to be a police officer who has to interact with all people (the public). This link I initially saw on yahoo.com.

Neither of the officers look "white" too me. The one on the left looks Italian (yes, that's right, Italians are not white), on the right I'm not sure, but possibly mixed-race. Another example of people trying to stoke racial tensions by using a very loose definition of white.

And here is the first one. Of course they can't be white. White folks don't do this kind of thing, ever. Must be mixed race that just looks white. Could be Russians too. They look white, and plenty of them in Police Departments. Yea, that's it, they are Russian Commies.

You have a weird definition of white that is not typical. Don't know where you live but here on the west coast Italians are considered white. The only groups I know of that don't consider the Italians white are some fringe supremacist groups but that is besides the point. Why are you so sure they aren't white? They behaved like a couple of fools no doubt and disrespected his humanity.

That picture is from an old SNL skit. It's Richard Prior wearing antlers, Dana Carvey holding the gun on the right and, I think, John Belushi's brother Jim on the left?
