Whether the core problem is (1) unchecked police power or (2) racism is an important question that deserves to be figured out seriously.

If you try to fix one problem when in reality it is the other, you will spend decades making failed reforms while the problem continues unaddressed.

In that context, I think that this...

> I wondered what the ethnicity of the person raided was, and of course he's black. That's why there's no shame or embarrassment from the officers.

...is not good analysis. You're basing a strong opinion on a sample size of 1, that's been selected by a film maker for best effect.

There's no reason we can't try to reform both at once.
