I love how this just blatantly accepts the premise that cops are racist.
It’s like that movie Crash, racist cops don’t mean to be racist, they just need a personal tragedy to help them overcome their previous bigotry
Just like how Sandra Bullock found out her real friend was her maid the whole time
Sandra Bullock also won the Oscar for ‘The Blindside’ in which she plays a rich white lady who steals a black kid from his mom.
Crash also taught us that if a racist cop SAs a black woman, it all balances out if he saves her life later
We were shown that movie, with that scene in full, in high school and frankly I memory holed that so hard I had to double check to make sure it was the right scene I was thinking about. I don’t even remember the tertiary reason we started watching it back then and I don’t remember any of the plot, but that scene has stood out to me for well over a decade.
Not racist! They don’t hate blacks, they just innocently hassle them with the violent instruments of overwhelming state power
I’ve looked up the cartoonist John Slade. If it is a Stan Kelly-type joke, then he’s been committing to the bit for several decades.
The word "hassled " here carrying a lot of water
Even in a comic they can’t bring themselves to even draw an equivalent and HAVE to still paint the cop in a better light. If you’ve always “hassled blacks” you hate blacks.
neat how “hated”, an emotion by a group with no institutional power, is equated with “hassled”, actions by a group with immense institutional power and the ability to murder with impunity
Too bad every cop in America wasn’t in the top floor of the WTC.
I love the Marvel one where Doctor Doom is crying at ground zero
