Making sit up don't count....

I'm talking about which ones, after an incident, we're found to have made overtly racist writings, comments, memberships, eye witnesses coming forward with credible claims, etc....

Let's take the first example. Wilson. Without regard for the specifics of the minutes of the incident. He has worked over 5 years as a street cop in predominantly black communities yet no group of people coming forward with anecdotes of racism, no writings or memberships in racist circles, not a shred of evidence Wilson is a racist.
