What a ridiculous statement. If that's the case, so are judges and prosecutors and so are all bank employees.

Nonsense.  Institutions are just people.

So you're arguing that institutions are just groups of people hanging out with no shared cultures, values, and practices?

Regardless, individuals are constantly claiming racism but it doesn’t mean that it is.  The human rights tribunals are incentivized this type of nonsense.  Anyone who gets treated rudely now automatically thinks is because of race.

Oh look another bullshit statement from our resident Racist Facebook Uncle.

The officers acted in a racist way.  That was admitted by the Police Board.  Are the officers themselves racist?  I don’t know, but we can judge their actions as clearly racist.

Ok fair enough.  I'll edit my phrase:

Breaking news: some cops are racist.

The thing I don't like about cops is that everyone covers for each other in their wrong doing to one degree or another.
 Even the otherwise "good cops" need to turn a blind eye to wrongdoing because it's a brotherhood, and you don't snitch on a brother, you cover for each other, even when a member of the public comes forward with a legit complaint of wrongdoing they typically deny, deny, deny.  I know this for a fact. Ever seen the movie "Platoon"?  It works like that.  Oliver Stone fought in Vietnam, he knows what he's talking about.

So here are the choices that an otherwise "good cop" has:

1. Go along with his crooked department and turn a blind eye and/or lie and cover for them when confronted.

2. Behave ethically and don't go along with the thin blue line of bullsh*t, properly raise concerns of wrongdoing by fellow officers or superiors, and face bullying/ harassment from fellow officers or superiors and get put on bad assignments etc until you quit.

3.  Quit right away because you're ethical & you don't want to do option 1 or 2.

So any way you slice it, all cops are unethical.  All cops are bad cops who do not honor their oaths, it's simply differs by the matter of degree (which varies drastically).  Ethical people cannot stay employed as cops.
