The 'Cops: Racial Profiling Edition' [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rizzler) video spoof is a mock of the recent stringent Arizona immigration law.

The "cop" goes around enforcing a new law in Santa Montica by targeting Europeans. They set up an illegal immigrant checkpoint to deport [illegal European immigrants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/migroot) because of their "rape" of Aboriginal land. 'Cops: Racial Profiling Edition' is flipping the script of typical immigrant rhetoric in order to shine light on the important issue of "illegal immigrants."
