By "one of those" I take it you are implying that George is a
racist, which could not be further from the truth. And when
he used the "N" word, he had quotes around it. He was talking
about the cops' state of mind which led to these bad shoots,
not his own opinion of the black race. He was being critical
of the attitude, not the race. (And I'm not sure what
motivates your particular usage of the word.)
Either you have terribly misread this statement or I have
terribly misread your letter. If it is the latter, I owe you
an apology. If it's the former, you owe one to George
P.
