Rick had a run-in with the Local PD. He made it through but in the aftermath of Tyre Nicols amongst many black people coming in contact with law enforcement we can say he is lucky. The problem with law enforcement, no matter how you cut it, here in America, was founded on racism and property protection, it wasn't about protecting human life. The us against them and the thin blue line is what reinforces that foundation, so it doesn't matter what they may look like (because we are all American, full stop) it is the culture behind them that is the issue.
