Ask yourself why you rush to defend Mr. and Mrs Sixpack, while not even SEEING that you are avoiding the culpability of the criminal justice system in the Tulia cases?

Not to mention the criminal justice system everywhere else. Like, could it be that Tulia isn't a wild outlier, totally untypical of the rest of our civilization?

Ain't hindsight beautiful?

BTW, you didn't respond to whether or not you personally investigate the details of every drug arrest in your community. I'm left assuming you don't. By your logic, you are accordingly complicit in the misdeeds of bad cops in your own community and any racism that may influenced or facilitated their misdeeds.

Catching corrupt cops ain't necessarily an easy thing. They know about the law, rules of evidence, court procedure, etc. Police corruption is a decidedly bad thing. It doesn't follow that it is an inherently racist thing.
