The question it raises, like other events of this kind: where are we getting our cops from, and how did this guy become a cop?
No mention of race being a factor from The Root.
After viewing the footage, Smith said Desue was shown the door. “We knew that this was something that we had to take action on immediately. We accepted his resignation. He’s no longer an employee of this agency,” said Smith.

Not very long and not his first time being reprimanded. Hard to imagine you couldn't see this guy's disposition before hiring, particularly if you had spoken with some who know him and/or grew up with him.youthathletics wrote

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/fl ... -rcna44455Desue had been employed by the sheriff’s office since March 2020.
The file showed he received a letter of reprimand involving a separate incident on April 13 and was allowed one last chance to continue working with the office.

I wonder why police believed the white neighbor and didn’t ask her for her id but arrested the black neighbor after they didn’t believe him and told him not providing his id led to his arrest.

Re: Is America a racist nation?
Hmm. Good, old -fashioned American values: lying, thieving and murdering.
‘The Osage people were supposed to be safeguarded by the US government because of the agreement their leaders negotiated. Instead, federal policies allowed a massive transfer of Osage land and wealth to outsiders that the Osage Nation is now working to get back.
Some of that wealth was lost during the Reign of Terror, a criminal conspiracy during the 1920s, when White men murdered Osages for their mineral rights. That era is the subject of an upcoming movie directed by Martin Scorsese, based on David Grann’s bestselling book “Killers of the Flower Moon.”‘

https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/us-and-the-holocaust/
The U.S. and the Holocaust is a three-part, six hour series that examines America’s response to one of the greatest humanitarian crises of the twentieth century. Americans consider themselves a “nation of immigrants,” but as the catastrophe of the Holocaust unfolded in Europe, the United States proved unwilling to open its doors to more than a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of desperate people seeking refuge. Through riveting firsthand testimony of witnesses and survivors who as children endured persecution, violence and flight as their families tried to escape Hitler, this series delves deeply into the tragic human consequences of public indifference, bureaucratic red tape and restrictive quota laws in America. Did the nation fail to live up to its ideals? This is a history to be reckoned with."
Although this documentary focuses on Jews in the 1930s, it also touches on this country's abysmal history of discriminatory immigration policies all the way back to Irish and Germans in the 1830s, Asians in the late 19th Century and then Southern/Eastern Europeans in the early 20th Century
I also suggest reading The Guarded Gate - Bigotry, Eugenics, and the Law That Kept Two Generations of Jews, Italians, and Other European Immigrants Out of America) by Daniel Okrent published in 2020.
The discrimination and hatred of immigrants was led by more than a few famous Americans including Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, Henry Cabot Lodge and Presidents Calvin Coolidge and, to a lesser degree, Theodore Roosevelt.

All of us need to know and understand our history in order to make progress on our future. It's not anti-American to want to know our actual history.

Just got back about a half hour ago from seeing Robert Plant and Alison Krause-make up for a show that got rained out early in June. He’s the same guy. Voice, maybe cant hammer and hold the top pitch notes but it was excellent and their combined music is very good. Did three zeppelin songs but made their own. Big fail on Rock and Roll. Turned it into a country rock generic tune you’d hear in a comedy movie when I guy gets up to play guitar on stage or in background at a lively bar. Crushed Battle of Evermore and still evaluating When the Levee Breaks, wasn’t bad but was a Persian/Indian style trippy rendition.
