I am already seeing that BS. On Facebook even here. They say these aren't racially motivated GJ decisions. They certainly are. I wish people would quit trying to pretend up is down in this fucking country!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(14,177 posts)Because I am not a racist AH. Black people get stopped for stupid shit all the time and a lot of times they get stopped for no reason at all. I have seen cops hassle very young children probably preteens just because they were walking home from school. They were all like alright kids what do you have in your backpacks. Uh books officer we have books in our backpacks.

That is...unless the cop, himself, is Black (and may not be crooked):
So...yeah...it's racial.
