WTF, is all I can think. Sheesh here's the latest on a Black person, sadly it was the esteemed Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr, just trying to go about his daily business and ending up in handcuffs by racist-assed trigger-happy cops. Thank God they didn't shoot a Black man in the back this time. It all started with a nervous white neighbor who obviously never bothered to get to know her neighbor. She spied Black men entering a home in her neighborhood and assumed criminal activity must be taking place. One phone call to the cops later, Dr Gates is being ordered out of his home by "law" enforcement and ends up with his mugshot being taken because he stood up for his right against unlawful search and seizure. And no reasonable cause was not warranted in my opinion as there was absolutely no evidence of wrong-doing, just a twitchy white woman who saw some Black men near her home. Read more at the NY Times.
