So for me it is a question of do I dress the way society feels safer for me to dress or do I go for whats natural. The funny part is there was the white male who lived below me in my apartment complex that actually sold drugs out of his apartment. HE told me he did not have a license and he partied every night. He was never stopped by the police. I was stopped by the police once while fixing a flat tire on my birthday. One last thought. Has a police department ever not backed a police officer after any type of allegation.

this story is very complicated. He was racial profiled by a neighbor obviously. I see the police officers point of view but he could have just walked away. He expected the professor to be personally insulted and inconvenienced and walk away. Now by law a police officer has to give you their name and badge number. I have found from personal experience that getting that information from them is usually going to be very hard. Police officers have very large egos. There motto is to protect and serve but most do not take that approach to their jobs. They tend to act like they are above the people they serve. I have had 20 police stops in the past 2 years. I have asked for numerous badge numbers and have been refused on most occasions. I was even told by one officer that if I did not want to be stopped that I should conform to society. I have a brand new car and I have an older car. When I am in my new car I have never been stopped. When I am in my old car I have been stopped several times. I am from Alabama so I have a keen insight into racial matters. The key is it is not so much about racial profiling as it is about class. Kobe Bryant, Chris Rock, and Oprah are safe black people. These are black people that white people are comfortable with.Allen Iverson, Michael Vick or even JoJo Simmons would be stopped everyday because they do not conform. I have a degree in Psychology and I wear a shirt and tie to work everyday. I have been told by fellow white employees for years that "you are not like the others." Shockingly discussing it with other blacks in the same situation they wear that comment like a badge of honor. I cannot feel that way. I have never been stopped by the police in slacks not once. But the twenty times I have been stopped in the past two years I was wearing basketball shorts and a t-shirt. You see I was not conforming. I was dressing like alot of black males dress which I see nothing wrong with.

as usual i think the cop's just go too far its okay?? to do your job but don't abuse us and beat us like a stepchild we all have right's now?? i think the cop's should be suspended for goin too far we get the short end all the time

Funny how no one comments this video. Guess there's not need to look at reality in America if it doesn't involve celebrity scandals. SMH
