    Interesting. I’m watching an episode of NYPD from 1968 about a white cop shooting a black man who turned out to be a police officer. There’s a line where the white cop says that “everyone” will think that the only reason he shot was because it was a black man.

        Later in the episode, the black cop wonders if the white cop would have given him the benefit of the doubt, a little bit of time to show he was a fellow officer and no threat.

        It’s just yet another example of how old the issue of racism in policing is.

        Oh, crap. And the episode reveals its 1960s origins when the culprit turns out to be a black man posing as a Treasury agent, thus making the white cop’s suspicion reasonable…

        On the other hand, the episode ends with the white cop’s commander asking him if he would have acted differently if the man had been white. The cop answers that he doesn’t think so, but that he really doesn’t know, which is at least a recognition of the issue.

        The Wire had a similar subplot

        Once saw a ww2 propaganda film about Asian soldiers in the US army. Thought the rather frank descriptions of the racism they faced was far too honest to be discussed that way today today

        @televisionaryZW - this sounds like a lot of the Dragnet and classic cop stuff you've been reviewing
