There was so much action squeezed into the book that the pacing and character development that I enjoyed so much in the previous books was pretty much missing. If Briggs attempted to show the affects of this (incredibly common) type of racism it did not come through, it just felt like a gross "racists can be good guys too" sort of moral. Afterwards it is explained to Mercy that the officer is really a great guy with trauma cases and will hopefully be promoted out of the field soon. He reacts badly to Mercy's skin color and she backs him down, she is protected by her status in the community. The officer openly harrases the Hispanic community to the point were they are reluctant to call for help. There is a scene where Mercy has a run in with a racist local police officer that just made me cringe.
