        So wearing a puffy jacket is considered “dressing like a gangster “?

        Yes. Businessmen dress like businessmen. It identify them as businessmen. Thugs dress like thugs.

        He is crying someone called the police because his alarm was going off. The police arrive with the alarm still going off and they ask to verify he is the owner. Guilty of being black without a brain.

        Or maybe because people saw someone moving things in a store at night when they thought it would be closed. Why does it have to be racially motivated?

        what about the black guy trying to get the bus? The little black girl selling water? The black guys having a picnic? The black guy listening to Yoga music? The black kid mowing the lawn? What was the reason they had the cops called on them?

        And those prove definitely that this particular case was racially motivated?
