Discrimination in the Ranks

OK so it may have been mere coincidence that we saw the documentary on police brutality this week and now this is one of the top stories on CNN but I don't think so. A new study found that if you are black or Hispanic you are more likely to be searched and arrested when stopped for traffic violations. That's very interesting news the police department didn't want you to hear! Even better this was released by the Justice department who also admit that there are racial issues at hand. Looks like Billy Jackson's not the only one noticing!
