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.
Sorry, but just being there is not suspicious. But apparently the grievance industry was able to parlay that into a lame excuse to end an effective policing tool
