I remember chasing a big guy (abused his kid a reaked of marijuana). I'm black. He was white. As soon as I told him not to run, he started running. I'm 6 feet tall and he's bigger than I was! Anyway, I finally ran him down, hopped on his back, put my forearms around his neck, and finally brought him down where I could cuff him.
This wasn't a sex thing, either. I was a cop!
What would have happened if our skin color were different and he had died? I was just acting in the spur of the moment in a situation that was my responsibility to handle. That's why I always look at cases like this one and I often take the cop's side of things.
