Of course I was never talking about police. Or atleast not specifically police. I was talking more about society as a whole. The thing is, most crimes that are (or are atleast callled) hate crimes these days get at least a little media attention. They may, depending on the type and severity of the crime, get national attention or it may just be a small article in the local newspaper. At any rate people tend to pay attention to them more. Newspapers (as well as the local news broadcasters) have alot of influence over the way people think. All it takes is for them to start claiming, justifiably so or not, that someones crime was race motivated. Then they start pressuring the local congress man or mayor to tack on a hate crime sentence to his regular sentance.
