in American police forces for generations. But the 'revelations' coming out now, to me, stink of the American hypocrisy that has perpetuated racism and hate since the first slave stumbled from the slave ship unto these shores. The racism is so systemic now, even the military has to start sweeping its ranks top to bottom for KKK and any other racist element(s).
