    College swim team takes bathroom break on the way back from a road trip. Local deputies spot the team’s only black member, tackle him, put a gun to his head, threaten to kill him. They later claim they mistakenly thought he’d taken the bus hostage.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1137126 …

        Yes, actually they did. Or perhaps they were just pissed that this black "boy" had the nerve to even attend college, let alone compete on the swim team. I'm guessing you think stop and frisk was a good thing & r voting for Bloomberg, too.

        The fact that it isn’t shocking to me is sad Racial profiling needs to stop, especially by the very people that are paid with our tax dollars to keep us safe....
