Race Reversal

* In “Stop Race Riots Before They Start” (Commentary, April 16) Clarence Page writes, “I imagine white citizens would get pretty steamed, too.”

“Pretty steamed” must mean that Page thinks that whites would pull blacks from cars and beat them in reaction to every perceived injustice by a police department. The truth is that in today’s zeitgeist all black social pathology is justified, while trace evidences of police wrongful action invariably indict entire police departments.
