Racial subjects attract attention from Civil rights groups, Politics, and the locals. What do they know, were they there when the Cops shot the merchant or the college players? Minorities’ say they’re more worried about the cops than the crooks (Cannon&Morrow 35). Politics play the biggest roles take Rudy Giuliani for instance, mayor of New York City. He lashed out at those who criticized the cops calling the demonstrations silly, and saw his ma

From personal example set by people I know in law enforcement positions, they perform their jobs with fairness to everyone. But, it only takes a few that make mistakes or doesn’t treat everyone the same to give all policemen a bum rap or be known as a racist.

He didn’t go to Ireland. He didn’t go to England.”

A group of black state legislators, ministers and civil-rights advocates gathered to denounce Col. Williams as a racist. “His views are dastardly, he’s unfit to hold such a critical, important office.” Mr. Williams was dismissed hours later. {Jackson Toby, Wall Street Journal, March 11, 1999 }
