It made it into a reality show about one cop. Not the other cops on the scene. Not the police as a whole. Not the system. Not racism. Not the oppressive nature of policing black communities.

One guy... caught on video. One..... bad apple.

    I don't think anyone is seriously taking that view in light of the two police-murders that took place in the last week alone.

        I see plenty of it on Reddit and Twitter. But just flip over to FOX and you'll see Tucker throwing a shit-fit at the fucking NY corrections officer interviewee for not being pro-cop enough.
