How? What would you have done that would guarantee a police force with no "bad seeds?"
We don't know what was going through that Oakland officer's head, if anything. With officers, we want to assume the worst, because it empowers us over the authority that we resent so much.
Same with this officer. Maybe he just made a mistake. He probably feels like shit. Let's just assume that he's a racist though, with no evidence to support that. That satisifies that inner hatred of authority also.
