Just ask black men who are pulled over and harassed by the police for nothing other than DWB (driving while black). Happened twice to my husband, once in Oakland after he had just dropped off our baby at the sitter. The cops told him they would find something he had done wrong and they just knew he had a record (they were wrong on both counts) and since this happended on a Friday threatened to keep him in jail all weekend. The second time was in San Francisco, my husband was driving to a job at night, the cops (3 cop cars now) pulled him over saying that he was speeding (he wasn't) and took him to jail. At the jail my husband got roughed up by a cop who told him there wasn't a damn thing he could do about it.
To this day my husband does not have a criminal record. Hell it's been years since he's had a parking ticket. Now I'm beginning to worry about my boys.
Newsflash folks, we're already in a police state especially if you're the wrong color.
