"...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?

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?

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.

If we aren’t going to have equal protection under the law, then we can’t have law.

Establish separate police forces and courts where numbers permit. It’s the only way to keep them from blaming the white justice system if they have to answer to their own.

“the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled Tuesday.”

Key word - “ruled”

A ruling from a court is not a law, unless a legislature passes a law that agrees with that court “rule.” Tell the court to go stick “rules” up their bunghole.

“The state argued the fact Warren fled strengthens the officer’s reasonable suspicion analysis.

The Massachusetts supreme court rejected that argument...”

That’s not the same as saying “Blacks have special right to run from cops.”

Great - one more justification for resisting the police which is exactly what leads to them getting shot in the first place.....

Is there a point where we say that judges have forfeited their authority by the actions they take?
