This is exactly the sort of problem I see with people painting the issue of police brutality as a racial problem. It really isn’t. Proportionally it may happen to more frequently to blacks, but that doesn’t make race a causative factor. The media makes it seem that way by magnifying encounters between black victims and — usually — white police.

The fact that a person’s name has been co-opted to symbolize an entitled, hostile attitude is truly despicable. It’s another example how depraved humanity can be.
