Did you miss the part where the cops weren't requiring it for white ran nightclubs? That smells just a little bit like racism to me.

- willcipriano 3y agoI saw the claim, I didn't see the evidence. The way the claim of racism was pulled way up front and the facts were buried deep makes me suspicious.
- permo-w 3y agoit may well be suspicious, but this is just how news articles are written [these days?]. exciting controversial claim at the front, explanation for why you should feel a certain way about said claim, some dross, maybe a tweet, then—if you're lucky—maybe, languishing at the back of the article will be some facts and a source.
- waffleiron 3y agoWe also saw many other claims without evidence in the article, but people seem to manage to engage fine with those. Is it really that far fetched that a bunch of corrupt cops are maybe racist too?
- lelanthran 3y ago> That smells just a little bit like racism to me. No, it smells like a claim of racism. But claims of various 'isms is so common now it's lost all meaning. I'm more interested in why the focus is seen to be on corrupt cops, and not on the fact that the damn city required it! If you've got a corrupt city, is it any wonder that the cops are going to be corrupt too? You can't fix the cops without first fixing their paymasters.
