Yeah, cuz a van full of Arab guys taking pics of a bridge is the same as a cop pulling a black guy over because his "license plate is loose." Really? And this doesn't happen to white people. I'm white and I've driven through many "hoods" if that's what you want to call them... seriously, east L.A., Oakland, north Portland... I lived in west Seattle near White Center and never got pulled over for being in a predominantly black neighborhood. Black people don't have the same privileges as we do.

@bloozeman1969 Are you fucking kidding me? HELL NO. I'm White and I know better than that. WHITES COMMIT MORE CRIMES THAN BLACK PEOPLE BUT DUE TO RACIST LAWS THEY DO NOT GET PUT IN PRISON NEARLY AS MUCH. They did a test, stopping 14000 total blacks, latin americans, etc. and stopped 1500 whites to check the car. 1000 out of 14000 had drugs or other illegal items within their cars. 1000 out of the 1500 of whites had drugs, etc. in their vehicle. Get educated idiot.

@XxtylerisradxX ...I want the police to pull me over because I'd love nothing more than to sue them and make sure the officer who harassed me has that harassment in his permanent file. When it comes time for promotion that officer will be overlooked.

@XxtylerisradxX Black people don't have same previleges we do, uz they act different than we do. Just aswe are treated as a group not invd. they are also.This is natural. If you go against what is natural and healthy, you and your neighbors will be nine times more often, assulted, mugged, raped and even killed. But be a coward and say that's just a scare tactic,as long as it's not U, you fine. Multiculturalism, death and misery is alot better than life and living well.COWARDISM has it's price.

HEY EVERYBODY; DID YOU NOT hear the guy just say people being arrested with huge amounts of drugs? So whatever they were doing was working. I am going to take a night time jog in a neighborhood full of black thugs, cuz I have a mental disorder called liberalism. Punishment for ingnoranct is mugging or death.

We desperatly need profiling for the cesspool in hip hop..Obama represents the best of the black man, white or purple man.. hip hop represents the disrespectful uglies face ( think ghostface killa) of the black man, white or purple man. hip hop is full of angry, creepy, chicken chasing ugly men. That need those penises cut off.

I was questioned by police officers because i was walking down the street. The cops said if we see you again outside walking down the street they would arrest me...
