Yeah though I’m baffled at the public reaction to this though. Seriously who sees that and goes “that’s anti-white racism, by these white police officers.” rather than “thats coppers being b\_stards, and it just happened this particular instance they were caught on camera being a b\_\_stards to a white kid”. How can your reaction be “the cops need to be more racist to brown people” not “the cops should stop being b\_\_stards”!?!
