We've all got it somewhere in us.

Portugal charges 18 policemen over alleged racist conduct.   Authorities in Portugal are ringing charges of torture, assault, providing false statements and other crimes against 18 police officers over alleged racist conduct.  The Lisbon attorney general’s office says the crimes refer to an incident in 2015, when police clashed with young black men in a poor neighborhood near Lisbon.  A brief statement on the attorney general’s website Tuesday said the police officers are suspected of “severe abuse” of their position and neglecting their duty. It accuses them of offensive acts and insults, without describing the alleged crimes in detail.   WTOP
