This is ridiculous. Have we learned nothing in this country???
Beverly Hills police stopped Salehe Bembury (VP at @Versace) for "jaywalking" aka #WalkingWhileBlack.
Would they have treated a jogging white woman in Beverly Hills the same way?

I am a white woman. I live over a downtown storefront in small town Michigan and jaywalk 10 times a day. At least.

White woman in MI here, too. I jaywalk all the damn time & have never been stopped.
