Sounds like this was a pretty fucked up situation, but one wonders why the white cops (can’t say for sure, but the police wrists on the bodycam look very pale) would really have no trouble believing that a white kid out late at night had been tormenting a brown one.
I bet it has way less to do with being “woke” than it does with their actual experience on the job. They also called the ambulance right away, but they did fuck up quite badly by not believing him when he said he’d been stabbed.
To be clear, the Sikh kid needs to go to prison, the police need to be investigated and those officers disciplined, and I grieve for the victim and his family, but people who think that an 81%-majority ethnicity is enduring some epidemic of oppression, because previous white shitheads lulled some lazy cops into complacency, they have some other agenda. I wonder what JD Vance’s is?
The insinuation among the far right is that after decades of being called out for institutional sexism and racism, the police services have rubber banded themselves into a situation where they are trained and pressured to always believe the woman, always believe the minority, and so on, rather than deal with things situationally. It ties into their wider theme of white replacement. That’s lucrative these days.
