Agreed, it was very poor form and rather trollish. I hope he uses this a a learning lesson in future behavior.

I thought it was important to the story: a legit immigrant should be treated well when asking for help, not shot.
I also think it points towards the hysteria towards immigrants in America, which is a point of discussion or debate right now. Sable/OP isn't being racist. Hence, this thread.
Edit - Is it okay to care about the person being shot and the cop's origins? Or...rather...why is it not okay? Other than the obvious "stop talking about race so much because that is racist" idea. I agree with that statement, actually.
