The accusation was that "suspicious manner" included simply being present on the street while black or brown. I believe at least one judge agreed that was the case.

I don't want to be stopped and frisked, have my vehicle searched, or have my home invaded because an officer felt my behavior was "suspicious." If I don't want it happening to me then I can't be okay with it happening to someone else.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
