They really weren't overtly racist. They weren't consciously racist. But you know what they had in their minds that made them act out and beat a black suspect unwarrantedly? They had fear. They were afraid of black men. I know a lot of white cops who have told me. And I interviewed over 900 police officers in 18 months and they started talking to me, it was almost like a therapy session for them I didn't realize that they needed an outlet to talk.<br class="" style=""><br class="" style="">They would say things like, "Ms. Rice I'm scared of black men.

Ms. Rice, can you teach me how not to be afraid of black men." I mean this is cops who are 6'4". You know, the cop in Ferguson was 6'4" talking about he was terrified.

The scripts need to be reversed here by the prosecutor and defense teams. In this Cleveland case, the prosecutor needs to push for the whole story (past history showing bad cop) and the defense needs to press the jury to focus on 'It was a split second reaction. Anyone could have made the same mistake'. In the Ferguson case, the lynch pin of getting a conviction would have been for the prosecutor to focus on the sliver in time of 'clearly he had his hands up' and trying like mad to suppress evidence and witness testimony of the preceding robbery & assault.<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"> </div>
