    I've never understood how people can claim racial profiling if they have illegal tint on their windows - you can't see the race of the person driving it the tint is that dark without really looking hard - and if the car is driving by, you don't have that much time to look.

    seems to me the cops were just doing their job in this situation. If someone says they were trying to see if they're being followed..it automatically raises either suspicion about, or safety concerns for the driver.

    I'm amazed nobody has asked the obvious question here.

    Was he wearing a hoodie?

    How is that the obvious question? He wasn't shot, walking or innocent.

    It is just ridiculous that they're actually investigating if this is racial profiling. If the cops see anyone make that fkn turn, you bet that they're gonna go after them. He broke the law, nothing more to it.

    I think that was my first post in the D&D. Couldn't help myself this time. I'll quietly tip-toe out of here.

    I doubt this was the original intent of the OP but, this sounds a lot like another wealthy 1%er trying to get preferential treatment from the government.

    You know, there are a lot of businessmen who make millions but aren't in the spotlight 24/7

    Maybe it's time we dig them all up and worship them too.

    My dad is a principal. He gave me the best advice when it comes to the Po Po:

    Always use your right to remain silent.


    I've gotten out of numerous power-struggle "incidents" with this.

    not everyone is in showbiz though. he made his millions from hollywood (being in the spotlight). he's a good rags to riches story.

    ...and its frustrating when they attach race to it. It's a backwards step.

    For once Texx, I agree with you... this isn't racial profiling by any means... this really is a mockery of people that "really" have experienced racial injustices... You made it home, didn't get beatdown, now STFU and pay your fine like everyone else
