assassinated ny cops show the multiracial nature of nypd.
can't easily make a case that nypd is intrinsically racist if many of the cops are minorities.
maybe they are just occasionally (or even frequently) thuggish.
and maybe because there are people out there like the assassin, they have to be. and race is not what animates them.
talk about an own goal. takes the wind clean out of the sails of those who want a different kind of policing in black neighbourhoods. which is a shame.
