Sure it happens, and at times it's only about race but guess what, it has happened to me several times and I am not black.[b] But where is the link here to dwb?[/b] "“He saw Michigan plates,” Felton says. “He just needed a reason."[/quote]

If you can't tell from the title of "Ohio cop tells black man he tailed him and pulled him over for ‘direct eye contact'" then you aren't very worldly and are probably white.  This is most definitely a case of DWB.  Just because police will do this to some whites on occasion, does not mean that there isn't a huge racial profiling problem in this country and that it doesn't happen disproportionately to blacks.  There are at least 4 times as many whites in this country as blacks and the number of white drivers is probably close to 8-10 times the number of black drivers, but the fact that these types of traffic stops happen significantly more often to black drivers than white drivers should tell you that there is a huge problem with racial profiling and DWB pullovers.[/quote]

Man, racism must be on a big decline if you have to dredge up something like this to bitch about. Using people like Brown and Bland as examples.

BTW, putting the man's race in the headline and then nothing in the story to justify that it was a racist act is a form of racism. Why? Using race to promote a story.

And as I said, Sure it happens and at times it's about race but it's people like you that are hurting, not helping, the cause.[/quote]
