I'm not sure where you get that. I see just as much white-trash and hispanics as I do black people on "COPS".
If I see a group of shady looking white punks walking down the street towards me in a "bad part of town", I would be just as concerned as if they were black, hispanic, native american, or hasidic jews. Race means less than upbringing, location, and social affiliations do nowadays.

Murder in the first degree = Murder in the first degree, regardless of whether it was a wife plotting against her husband for financial gain, or a klan member killing a homosexual out of hate. In both cases there is a lack of respect for human life which should be punished equally.
