Do we still need more proof that sometimes - just sometimes - cops only see skin color? Because if this circumstance is being used as evidence then it seems like a pretty open and shut case. Never mind that the police instinctually decided to pin down a black man and put a firearm to his head when there were surely people of every race, color, and creed fleeing the scene, because it's the particular black man they chose that really serves as their smoking gun. 

I suppose I shouldn't assume that every person carrying a badge is an NFL fan.  But - Christ Almighty - for multiple officers to look at a easily recognizable public figure who stands 6'4", 275 and see "big, intimidating black man" instead of "that football guy from the TV that keeps saying we occasionally suck at our jobs" is a pretty big tip-off that sometimes - just sometimes - they really, really do suck at their jobs. Associating gunshots and African Americans is bad enough, but not even having a wherewithal to handpick one of the hundreds of African Americans that doesn't have a cult-followed social media account and a nationally broadcasted sideline to display his displeasure? That's not just inexcusable racial profiling, it's unforgivably piss poor facial recognition.

Granted, I don't demand that those who are sworn to serve and protect be able to pick a professional defensive lineman out of a line-up. However, if they are going to bitch and moan that said professional defensive lineman knelt in response to their "occupational hazards" then they should probably summon their photographic memory to make sure he doesn't unlawfully become a victim of one of them. If not because they are supposed to be legally bound to preserve equal rights then because it puts a pretty big chink in the armor of those who argue that black people can't be discriminated against once they reach an arbitrary income threshold.
