Qpolicewant respect from young black men?it works both ways. my son was in this area with friends for a cook out, they were arrested,stripped search and fined and released. i wanted justice for my 19yr old he wanted his dignity back. now views all whites as insane and paranoid but unfortunately he also knows inthe eyes of white american he is less than a citizen.
AThis is the situation for all too many young black men who are stopped or searched without cause or suspicion. I can only suggest that if the incident was serious enough, that you consult a lawyer. Of course, not all police or other whites in authority should be blamed, any more that all young black men should be viewed with suspicion by the police.
