Stopping someone for no reason at all is part of "police work"? Have you ever been stopped and frisked for no reason at all? I'm assuming you haven't or else you would not had posted that comment. If you should ever find yourself in a similar situation like he was in, don't get upset...hey, it's part of police work. Smh.

I've dealt with asshole cops before (and I'm white, btw). I always deal with it the same way.

If they ask "why are you here?" reply (calmly) with "am I forbidden to be here?"

If they ask an unanswerable question, reply with "officer, can I help you, or can I leave?"

Cops aren't interested in whether you're a reporter, or whether you "know your rights".

When dealing with a crazy cop, talk to them the way you do with a misbehaving child, i.e. "officer, I can't speak to you if you're in my face."

Your racist comment about white people doesn't really help. Fighting racism with racism will only escalate the problem, but - even though I don't know you at all - I'm guess that (like me) you'd like to see an end to it.

Haha...I'd say Asians are the most racist people on the planet. Or at least the older generation...We don't run our mouths about it tho. We just keep selling black people pork fried rice and kung pow chicken and everyone is happy. Maybe Indian liquor store owners are the most racist. When I go into one at 1am in Queens, the owner comes out of his cage and talks to me. Black guy shows up at the door, he gets back in the cage and locks it up before buzzing him in. Its sad but...reasons?

'much' meaning a lot. 'this' meaning the general issue, not the particular incident. one article does not qualify as 'much.'
