He should get a good lawyer and sue the Police Department. That's ridiculous.

Two friends of mine have had several DWB's over the last 5-7 years. Another very close friend who has Sicilian heritage, has been accosted numerous times, and stopped in his car with WWM and DWM.

Walking While Mexican, and Driving While Mexican. He is as American as anyone and was born in the USA.

Funny thing but I have been stopped a few times running late for work and had a bad experience with a black op and a white cop.I even was in uniform heading to work with my badge and the cop said to me"oh I am supposed to let you go".I said "no sir you asked for my ID and my badge is with my ID".But of course we will not hear about that because it is not racially motivated news when the shoe is on the other foot.If he was pulled over unjustly he has a case.Since we have tons of ambulance chasers now i am sure he will find a lawyer to take his case.

My brother a few weeks ago told me a story about how he was pulled over by a cop because the cop was suspicious why he shook the fist bumped a black man (it was because he noticed they had similar tattoo's). The cop assumed it was a drug deal going down, sad that things like these happen.

I wonder if you would have posted this if it was the other way around.

Sad that it happened. Of course the cops are int he wrong and should be diciplined and the department should be sued.

You must not know me or ever read any of my post. If I catch any news strory regarding police misconduct I will post. It has nothing to do with race. We the citizens must check the police because they do a poor job checking themselves.

I do read your posts but 99% of the time it is about stuff that happens to black people. I know you hate cops.
