    Well until now in this discussion we haven’t established that cops were the ones committing waving the flags. But unfortunately you’re right, “some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.”

    Speaking ideally, yes obviously we all expect cops to arrest their friends when their friends are committing crimes. Unfortunately that doesn’t happen nearly as much as it should.
