My only thought on that is that getting arrested because you lose your temper at a cop is not especially racist. Which is what is being said. Maybe the professor should come right out and honestly defend the rights of people lose their tempers.
Im not even sure the context is that racist. Is it because the woman identified the two men forcing entry as black? Is it that weird to report two men forcing entry to a house? My only thought on that is she should have known that he neighbor is black and so it might be him. But wouldn't it be strangely racist to see some black men breaking into your black neighbor's house and just assume it must be them? How would you explain that to the neighbor it they did get robbed?
What was in the woman's heart might have been racist but I don't think her actions prove it. What was in the police officers heart might have been racist but I don't think his actions prove it. The professor has made a much better case for his own sense of privilege that something like this could happen to HIM. And as far as responding to authority respectfully I wonder how much of his own behavior he would have accepted from a student?
My take is that its a 50/50 who was in the wrong or maybe more likely both parties failed to behave like the perfect buddhas the peanut gallery always expects humans in any given situation to behave like.
