I think everyone is overreacting. He was attempting to make light of her comment and comfort her by joking about what the media has portrayed as fact and is clearly what was driving her fear of the police. This country is becoming a bunch of pussies that try and twist anything and everything into something that its not just so they can be outraged over something.

I don't think people are denying that the comment was made at least mostly in jest, but it is reflective of a pretty horrific and dissmissive attitude the police have to a group of people they are supposed to protect and serve. Those people already feel targeted and are wary of the police and this only validates a genuine fear that being stopped by a police officer might result in them being killed.
