Just as referring to people of colour as Negroes and insisting they work in the cotton fields is standard practice. But only if you are a stuck in the past racist.

You haven't posted anything to indicate that what happened was one of the "some scenarios". We do have a police chief saying "our officers showed poor judgement in this instance" though.
