This is why it is valid to say modern policing is akin to a slave patrol: not because black folks are literally enslaved in the present, but because bubbas with guns and badges ACT like they are...asking this young man for an ID when he is merely walking around is NOT valid, nor does he have to carry such ID the way enslaved folks were required to carry a slave pass. This officer is either a) ignorant of the law, in which case he should be terminated, as he clearly doesn't understand his job; or b) racist, as he wouldn't likely pull any of this shit with a white kid, in which case he should be terminated for doling out unequal treatment, in violation of the Constitution, or c) both, in which case he should be terminated for the reasons previously listed. |
