I’ve been following a series of stories similar to this one where an interracial couple was targeted by the LAPD and it’s disgusting and scary. Why? Because the cops are targeting and harassing everyday citizens for non-crimes. For instance, this incident, where a mother was arrested when her husband took her kids to a restaurant to use the bathroom, happened across the street from my office. I would like to believe it’s not race related because I don’t know all the facts in all these incidents but chances are, it is race related.
Today it is Race X or Race Y. Tomorrow it will be another race…when did the police stop protecting, and start harassing?
