Has anybody else who's ever seen those reality cop shows, you know, where cameras ride 'along with the men and women of the  Crazytown...?

8police force", yah specifically the ones who go into inner city mostly black neighborhoods where they put bait, a car with keys in it or high dollar mountain bike,

and wait for, usually a black person who would otherwise have  gone about his business, to come by and take the bait.  That's when a 12 person team storms the "thief' in a dramatic TELEVISED take down.

Kind of disturbing when you break it down, isn't it ?

I'm just putting that out there for your mulling pleasure.

Update:

Really @gibbs, so if you came across a bag of money and upon picking it up you get pummeled by cops and arrested for taking property not belonging to you, how would you feel?  Even after telling them that you were 'gonna turn it in' had you not been pummeled first.  [THEN] you find out it was BAIT

used to  get dramatic footage for a reality TV show?  

Or is it different if it's a white person who takes the bait?

Either way you're racism is inherent and why you can't see it in yourselves.

    He still tried to steal the car.  He should have kept minding his own business.
