On the subject of police brutality, it's easy to think more people are racist than in reality because clean-cut police brutality doesn't make the front page. People only argue about cases that have a degree of debatability, so those are the ones that become big, contentious stories and it begins to look like all instances of police abuse are disputed. The vast majority of people don't tolerate racism, but news about obviously rule-breaking cops are one-day stories. If a riot broke out after every undebatable unlawful police shooting, we'd have a very different (and not less accurate) picture in our heads of the frequency with which these things happen.
