NYC v. other places in the U.S. If that was in the south he'd never have been caught alive.

Yeah. Sorry. No.

I know that you like your broad generalisations but this is just wrong.

No law enforcement agency is above reproach but the idea that NYC is squeaky clean because large + metropolitan = not racist (which works so well in London) is patently false.

Also southern = racist is equally lazy. Former NYPD police commissioner Lee P. Brown (NYPD's first commissioner from outside of the NYPD) served as a the first AA police chief in Houston, Texas & the first AA Public Safety Commissioner of Atlanta, Georgia, before moving to NYC in 1990.
