The only thing that will relieve this racial pressure is total employment
It won't cure it totally but it would act as a circuit breaker
The fact that society accepts 5 percent unemployment as a good thing is scary
and then classes someone working as little as 20 hours a week as being gainfully employed
The LA Riots showed just how racial tension can explode
It usually only takes one ridiculous act in this case an exoneration for the cops involced in the beating to light the powderkeg
Who in their right mind would want to be a Copper anywhere
Protecting the middle class & rich from those caught in the poverty traps
Sounds like a lose lose to me

taped the programme as well, I found it quite unsettling as well, not for the racist remarks but the way they were gained, ie I will ask you racist questions, will you give me racist answers, plus most of the footage was shot when the trainees were out on the piss or after they had been out on the piss, if this was not entrapment, not sure what is, plus who edited this show??
left a bad taste in the mouth.

You think that was bad one of our Aussie Comedy groups did a skit on the Rodney King beating with the finale being a closeup after the beating of Rodney saying
For strong pain relief I take Panadeine
Doesn't get more Racist than that IMHO-written by whites for whites

Thats the dude
Trial by media once again
How you could justify 4 white cops beating a black man senseless under the guise he was attempting to escape is beyond me.
Small time criminal gets what he deserves-all very stereotypical
Its like a prostitute that gets raped.People form the view that she was asking for it-downright stupid ignorant view IMHO
A Pilot that smokes weed...would make for interesting flying...did he ever see a stork delivering babies
We've been over that difference between American Positive can do and English why?. In my book its all distorted by Television...and as we know TV is very good as obscuring reality
I think Americans are just as cynical as the rest of the world its just that those that are never get shown on TV for the rest of us to see
You only have to look at the statistics about how many people actually vote in Presidential elections.A turn out of 50% is considered good which means
50% think its all a crock of shite-which it is
