They only apprehend black people

Having watched 9 episodes so far I noticed that they only seem to apprehend black people. Which could be logical when the neighbourhoods they patrolled in would be black areas. The only time they pull over white people it's because of some elder couple driving with a door open. The other time they feature white people in teh series is when the police are helping restoring a house that got hit by Katrina and belongs to a white family.

And the police officers themselves are all but one white.

Now I'm not occusing anybody from anything but it does become a little peculiar after all this time. And I'm white myself :P

That area has a large minority population and seems it seems reasonable. Remember they film hours and hours of video and edit it into a 30 minute show. They have to put the interesting stuff or action stuff on the air to keep a audience. Sometimes things are the way they are no matter what the race is.

Duh, black people commit most of the crimes--thus, they get apprehended. Comprende?

I'm watching the marathon and in one episode they arrested a white male with a warrant after pulling them over for a suspected DUI and allowed 2 hispanic males to leave their car in a parking lot to go home until they were sober enough to drive the next day after another suspected DUI. Well, that was a run on LOL. I also seen them let a drunk black male go after catching him urinating outside, so I agree black males may be the majority, but it's most likely due to the area being patrolled.

In the episode Crack War they raid a run down motel room and there are two white girls and 1 black guy. Actually, Capt Norman gives the taller girl the toughest time because they immediately see a crack pipe but can't find any crack. I think he comes out a couple of times asking where the crack pipe is and finishes it off with if I find that crack pipe I'm going to come back out here and i'm going to be really $#@S off. It seemed like they really wanted to arrest them but they couldn't find any drugs.

I think it's a wellknown fact that only black people commit crimes. Surely you dont suggest cops should arrest innocent white people?
