Whether we care to admit it or not, there are two sets of standards used by LEOs. Talk to most black men and you'll find they are much more routinely stopped than their white counterparts regardless of neighborhood, dress or age. Ask your teenage grandkids how often they are stopped by LEOs while walking down the street. Ask a black teenage boy the same question. You might be saddened by the answer.
Yes, the behavior in Ferguson is unexcusable but it is understandable. Do any of you really believe that Off. Wilson would have treated three white boys walking in the street the same way as he did Brown? (Remember, he did not know about the shoplifting incident.)
