Maybe they were all a bunch of hooligans for all I know. Still, it was a pretty graphic reminder that I -- a poor white guy -- lived in a very different world than the poor brown and black guys did.

or conversely, maybe they just didnt want to admit what crimes they had actually committed.
or maybe their cultural meme allows for the possibility that police do go around arresting blacks for no reason and that everyone knows that.
Much as a majority of blacks seemed to think that OJ was innocent and that he was framed for little or no reason.
