Given that a far greater level of violence is being visited upon those with an altogether stronger claim of innocence elsewhere in the world tonight, why are we so concerned about this story.
A racist cop - well yes you do get them, thankfully few and far between.
Some troops, bit of alcohol perhaps on receiving end of racist remark - it get's a reaction. Yes that happens as well.
The cop has let himself, his employer and his country down.
The soldiers have let themselves, their employer and their country down.
Due process will follow for both parties - let's move on.
