So a cop should give special protections to those that align with your political belief?

It’s about class because there are black cops and white arrestees?

There are numerous problems with policing in this country - some stemming from class, some from race, and some from a cruel intersection of both. Or, usually, even more factors. You can’t just boil everything down to “It’s class” even if class is an important component of many social problems we face.

Skin color can function very well as a class marker, like a uniform that can’t be taken off. Think of it as “low-tech” classism. The high tech version is, for example, the one conservatives project about:
