Of course that's what you were looking for.
You didn't see it because the video is blurred so as not to show nudity.
Did he check World Star for the video?

Yeah, they actually did.
"Regardless of how to look at the record no one can fairly say that it shows anything approaching the 'pervasive,' 'flagrant,' 'widespread,' and 'rampant' discrimination that faced Congress in 1965, and that clearly distinguished the covered jurisdictions from the rest of the nation."
No more racism!
Or it is not as rampant as it was 50+ years?

You must have a hole in your head.....
It reads anything approaching what was in 1965.

Morons are morons, and education and familiarity with other people changes us and makes us better.
"Human nature" does not exist. Our behavior is normative. Norms are arbitrary and we can improve ourselves and our society. We are not doomed to be pigs for all eternity, and those who remain pigs aren't "natural," they're just deficient.

Yep.
You're making the classic mistake of confusing patterns observed in nature -- physical laws -- with patterns observed in society -- conventions. Racism is a convention, not a determined characteristic. We know this because people become less racist under the right circumstances. That doesn't happen with, say, trying to fly by flapping your wings. That's the difference between our physical limitations and our social handicaps.

And yet people accused me of an overreaction when I say white supremacy groups are actively infiltrating police departments in many places in this country, despite well researched articles detailing just this in the legitimate media. I believe it is a bigger problem than even that media has led us to believe, in fact. This kind of behavior by police simply did not happen with such alarming regularity 30 years ago. It isn't just the advent of a camera in everybody's hands either that more readily reveals it. If it was, the cops themselves would be adjusting their behavior. The truth is it IS happening far more frequently. And since the cops know the chances of them suffering even as much as a termination are slim and none, nothing else is giving them much of a reason to stop.
What we are likely heading to, in five years, or maybe 10, but we're heading to it, is an entire population of people who so fear the police (rightly, in many cases) that they will be taking matters into their own hands. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already actually.

I have to wonder where you were in the 60s--or the xx years before that. You think blacks and other minorities weren't regularly beaten, wrongly incarcerated and murdered in those times? And without being in the news. Keep in mind what cell phones and a 24-hour news cycle have done to make us all aware that kind of abuse.

I think the Birmingham water cannon (1963) brought it to mainstream USA via the nightly news.

I still think that is inaccurate at best, wrong at worst. I don't think that there is an organized effort. Racists getting in the mix, sure. No doubt. But an active mission across the country to infiltrate? To me, that's a bit of tinfoil hat.

Re: Cops 5: Barney Fife, Now in Real Life!
I disagree with this notion most vehemently. This was not happening with the frequency it is now in the 1970s and 1980s. Law enforcement was making real, tangible progress for a couple of decades in fixing some of the systematic racism within their ranks. There was a real push to integrate some police departments and society as a whole was coming to grips with the need to move beyond the worst days of racism. If that wasn't so we never would have seen the progress that began 60 and 70 years ago, starting with integrating the military and the seeds of the first real steps taken judicially and legislatively in the 1950s. Follow that up with the civil rights movement in the 1960s and the two most impactful pieces of civil rights legislation since the Civil War. While we did not have a 24 hour news cycle and cell phone videos in 1970 what we did have was an even more functional hard news media in some ways. Most big cities still had multiple newspapers and nearly everyone tuned into the nightly news. I believe most people were better informed. And 50 years ago cops had a far more dangerous job. It would almost have been understandable if every cop was jumping out of his own skin in 1970 because a lot more of them were being assualted and killed then, by far, than now. Law enforcement is far, far worse now than at any point in my lifetime.
