I think this is totally correct.


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.
I don't know if race comes into it or not, but this many shots fired at an unarmed man, black, white, or green, tells me that there is a problem in the NYPD.

Too many hot dogs, not enough buns.
Bother not the cat. For they are sneaky and will piss on thy keyboard.
