(11,181 posts)Don't remember Piers Morgan. Was he a character the guy you are talking about was named after?
I don't read the Mirror or other tabloid rags and I don't watch CNN. Why do you keep bringing up this Piers Morgan character?
I base my views on personal experience, not on what people spout in the popular media.
In the US, I have found that, in general, the bond between cops is stronger than the racial prejudice that still exists. The uniform tends to neutralize any racial differences. When they get in situations, the adrenalin takes over and it becomes "good guys versus bad guys". In these situation, the black cops often become more aggressive against black citizens. See Baltimore.
Citing Wyoming as an example is ludicrous. It has 0.3% of the US population, the least populous state, and one tenth the average black population. Why would there be a race issue?
If you want to discuss racism in America in the context of how people dress (which is racist in itself), then look at the hatred towards Obama, or the recent attack on a black tennis pro in New York.
It rarely works both ways.
