You already know the punchline...

The worst part of this. Oh, since the totalitarians were black, too, there was no oppression.

That, and the subtext here that the police consider EYEBALLING THEM an "uppity act", worthy of discipline.

Logan officials say race played no role in the decision to question Downing. The first trooper to ask him for identification was black, and three of the four officers who arrived later also were black, court documents indicated. The first trooper said he became suspicious when he saw Downing watching him.

So do you think its okay to stop and question someone who is behaving suspicious or not ? i didnt see the word "uppity" Anywhere except your post. It may have been heavy handed, it may have been over the top, but it certainly wasnt racial.

I hope the courts make people who bring frivolous cases like this to court, pay for all the costs. In the long run its your money they are wasting.
