Did I ever mention that I hate cops?

[Chaerophon]

Machiavelli quote as "racist?" *puzzled look*

Could you elaborate on that?

As in "this was Tupac's favourite book. See the kind of stuff we have to deal with out there?" Since Tupac was seen as something of a leader among many youths in the black community, it might be taken as mildly racist... or simply a commentary on gang violence. Bottom line: I just don't get the quote at all - it makes no sense for a cop, testifying in a court of law, to reference Tupac (or Machiavelli, for that matter) in defense of his action.
