I typically hate when people try to make civil rights issues about race, but you're spot on here. Black dude in a bad neighborhood gets pulled over for having one headlight dimmer than the other or some stupid made-up bullshit. Cop searches car, finds nothing. Black dude has bad attitude because he's getting fucked over by cops, talks some shit. Power-tripping cop arrests him for interfering with a LEO or what the fuck ever. Reaction of racist people: its OK because he's black. Reaction of less-racist people: its OK because he was in a bad neighborhood - he shouldn't have been there. Race issue aside, civil liberties go to shit because people find a way to separate themselves from the dude getting fucked.
