[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a middle class, PhD-holding AA who has been stopped on suspicion on three occasions - I have never done drugs or any other criminal activity. Was not in the wrong place - just driving home, etc.  I have numerous friends and family members that this has happened to as well. My white friends (to my knowledge) have had no such things happen to them.

It sickens me when people think there is no bias in the law enforcement system. Ask around to your black and Latino friends. You'd be surprised.[/quote]

Tell me about it. I'm afraid to report black kids who are up to no good in my neighborhood because I know of too many people (including a close friends) who have been falsely accused of crimes. The officers didn't seem to care if they had the wrong person or not. Since I've been personally and negatively affected, I am very sympathetic to any black person charged (because I know they could have just been caught up by a system that doesn't care about them). Very sad, but true.[/quote]
