It is always worrying when real life starts imitating satire:

Dave Chappelle: Killin' Them Softly (2000) (TV)

David Chappelle: Somebody broke into my house once, this is a good time to call the police, but mm mm, nope. The house was too nice. It was a real nice house, but they'd never believe i lived in it. They'd be like 'He's still here!
[whacks the microphone on the stand]

David Chappelle: Oh my god. Open and shut case, Johnson. I saw this once when I was a rookie. Apparently this n*gger broke in and put up pictures of his family everywhere.'

...I just, this is just horrifying. I've always found zombies scarier than vampires because both look like people, but zombies just don't give a damn about your humanity at all. Sure, the vampires might eat you, but they will remember who you are? Zombies don't give a damn about who you are, your thoughts, your feelings, it just doesn't register. Being at the mercy of something you don't have a hope of convincing at all is horrifying.

police officers mocked his father’s past as a marine. "For them to look at my father that way, (with) no regard for his life, every morning I think about it," he says.

crime, racism
