Not all police brutality is related to race. Whites are also victims of brutality. Racially based brutality or the appearance that it is racially based brutality, is just more publicized and better suited for the agenda. Plenty of white heads have been busted, but do not get the same consideration. Perhaps it is thought that they deserved it?
