Cops like this didn't go from 'defender of the public' to 'power crazed a**holes' overnight, but they do tend to go from small communities where they are more likely to be 'weeded out' to bigger cities where they aren't.

I'm of the mind that this is more a case of "badge happiness"; police under the idea that they have no rules of conduct to which they must be held accountable. Yes, I suppose one could make a case for racial bias; if we think the police believed that they place they planned to raid was a hangout for those of ill repute. But to look at it this way is to also say that the police believe that those of that ill repute must be Blacks. I'm not sure that without more proof that I'll accept that.
