Mass. High Court: Blacks Have Special Right To Run From Cops
Daily Caller ^ | 9-21-2016 | Kevin Daley

Black men may have a legitimate reason to flee Boston police during investigatory or “Terry” stops, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled Tuesday.

The court found that systemic racism in the Boston Police Department may be considered in conjunction with a suspect’s decision to flee from police during a stop.

A Terry stop, named for the U.S. Supreme Court case which sanctioned the practice, refers to a brief detention and search of an individual due to reasonable suspicion of criminal conduct.

"...Such an individual, when approached by the police, might just as easily be motivated by the desire to avoid the recurring indignity of being racially profiled as by the desire to hide criminal activity. Given this reality for black males in the city of Boston, a judge should, in appropriate cases, consider the report’s findings in weighing flight as a factor in the reasonable suspicion calculus."

So, shouldn’t working Americans have the right to cheat on their income tax?

Rate of success is directly related to the quality of the running show and the athleticism of the perp.

Rate of success is directly related to the quality of the running shoe and the athleticism of the perp.

I wish half the things I read these days were satire. They are not.

So much for equality in the eyes of the law.

If blacks don’t have to obey the laws and Hispanics don’t have to obey the laws, then why do any of us?

Do you qualify for this benefit if you self-identify as black?

They’d best be investing in a belt instead of 300 dollar sneakers.

Dindo nuffins tripping over their pants around their ankles aren’t running anywhere regardless of what a idiot judge proclaims.

Cops have a legitimate reason to suspect Black males. They are a very small percentage of the population yet commit a little over half the violent crimes.

The statistics I have seen posted here on FR show that cops actually treat Whites worse than Blacks. Probably because they are afraid of being “racist”.

Should not Massachusetts be used as a bombing range? Would improve the quality of life in the rest of the country since those clowns would cease sending us idiots such as Kerry, the Kennedys, and Fauxahantis.

Wonder how many box tops it takes to buy a judgeship in that third world country.
