If folks do not participate when anonymous, most certainly can't expect anymore when there is a need to stand and be counted.

I watched the video after it was posted and chose not to comment. Why? Because I was disgusted with the cops bullying and condescending attitude and wanted to let my blood pressure lower a bit before saying anything that might get me in trouble. That young man deserves a big pat on the back, for keeping his cool during an obvious made up reason (we know this, because the driver had already called his mom and said that cops were following him prior to the turn) to pull him over for nothing more than "driving while being a young black male" and the cop trying to get a rise out of him while being on his power trip. The really sad part is that all too many of us white people won't see anything wrong with these cops actions in this incident and yet if it were your kid who was profiled and treated like this (especially if it was a black officer talking to a white kid like was done), you should be outraged, if you're any type of good parent that is. I hope the family wins their lawsuit, solely for the main purpose that they can force the Louisville police department to start properly training their force.
