Police Use Black Mug Shots For Target Practice

The North Miami Beach Police might be accused of gross insensitivity but let's not blow this out of proportion and call it racist. After all, that might be the only available page or maybe they just do one page at a time and this one happened to be all black people. Maybe Thursdays is white boy day.

Whatever happened, I'm certain it's not the case that if a sheaf of white people's pictures had been used someone would have objected to the tastelessness of the whole thing. That's just bitter cynicism that suggests that cops would see white people as human and black people as target practice. I mean that seems like it's just going out of its way deny that we now live in a post racial utopia.

We're past all that.
