Uh, I'm not sure I understand. However, I think there's more to the cop
dynamic here. From some article relating to the local PG police my
impression was that black police officers become cops first and black
second, and that displays of racism against other blacks serves to meld
them into the police force and make them more acceptable to fellow white
officers.
