I see what both of you are saying and I agree with you. On all of it. The playing of the race card has seriously hurt our credibility. If a black person says "race" nowadays, it's because they are too sensitive or trying to "persecute" the white man :eyeroll: This is because we choose to support people like OJ and Michael Jackson, not to mention debacles like the Tawanna Brawley incident.
But all that said, I find it almost impossible to give this police department the benefit of the doubt. They ARE targeting black men out there.
