    Oh I'm sure if some posters wont dismiss the reality of it altogether will instead correct you and assure to you that this is and was isolated. No other towns have this problem or has ever had this problem. All officers are perfect and incapable of abusing the power the public gives to them.

    They post the incriminating documents in the article. Why don't you read them and make you own conclusions.

    So you bash Raw Story and the local newspaper. If the local rag isn't covering it in Dothan, AL where fine dining is the Applebees, who will you trust? Did you read the article?

    Racism deniers manual for how to deal with this

    1. Question the validity of the "left-wing" source in order to stall (has already happened)
    2. Find examples of racism against whites in order to "one up" this one and say whites deal with racism too ya know
    3. Post irrelevant crime/incarceration statistics about the black populace
    4. Downplay this as a rogue incident and one not indicative that there is systemic racism against blacks, contrary to the body of evidence/research that suggests that there is a strong bias against black people in law enforcement
    5. Wait for Mr. Anecdote to come in and irrelevantly talk about how he endured poverty/hardship/racial prejudice himself and became successful, so black people have zero excuse

    I don't think their are any racism deniers. Everyone is racist.

    What should we do about it?

    Nope. Just another example though that police officers are in fact human and are capable of abusing their power.

    Everyone is not racist.

    Everyone is biased, there is a huge difference.

    too much effort for him. being racist denier and going attack mode is easier and more fun for him.
