I have to agree. Anger does have its place. But NYPD is only going off past experiences of pulling over blacks and latinos because of the high risk they are in America. Especially in that area.
I agree, anger certainly has its place. It's a shame that certain groups are always singled out.
I hate it when innocen people are stopped, I understand checks must be maintained though
Why is it always the same groups that are unfairly singled out?!
I think this is a reallyn interesting topic. it still surprises me how often this happens in this day and age.
I agree, this type of thing seems to be happening too often.
