To me, this looks very much like a profiling case -- young black man hanging out in front of nice homes.
Why would a policeman suspect a young black man hanging out in front of some nice homes might have illegal drugs on him? Why does such a stereotype exist?
Because so many tony white homeowners abuse drugs?

How many guesses do we get?

You do understand that cops don’t get to violate peoples constitutional Rights based on stereotypes, right?
I suppose that's true for racial stereotypes. But discrimination and persecution based on political party seems to be fair game in America today.

Maybe you’re right about that. If Trump were President, we’d have sent all of the folks who vandalized and damaged the Capitol last January 6th to jail for 10 years.

As it is, the Biden Administration appears far more lenient.

K Graham has no problem with profiling when weaponizing the government and law enforcement against his political opponents.
Right on cue! How many times have we all seen this play out. Ajax starts a thread based on some idiotic crap from Brietbart. The premise is quickly debunked by multiple people, and ajax's lame retort amounts to shifting gears by whining about some other Right Wing talking point - that has also been debunked.

No, cops don't get to violate constitutional rights based on political party, either.

Bottom line, don't ask a black man if he has a ticket to be in a trolley zone.
Also, don't kneel on his neck until he dies.

So, the thread is over? No answers from Ajax? Just endless racial complaints after he gets riled up from a Breitbart article? :roll:

As soon as I see from the main page that Ajax has started a thread, all I have to do is click over to Brietbart to know what he's going to say before I read his post. It is usually going to be the piece dealing with reverse racism or some crap.
