There are legit cases of arrested for being black

I didn't realize there were legitimate reasons for being arrested for the color of your skin?

Pretty sure Heartland meant there are cases of a person being arrested for “just being black” as opposed to a real crime - and this is one example.

There are people who are unfairly arrested because of the color of their skin. This story would indicate that is possibly what happened here.

"I didn't realize there were legitimate reasons for being arrested for the color of your skin?"

He said there are legitimate cases of arrested for being black. Not legitimate cases for arrested for being black.

In other words, in some cases, there are legitimate complaints that a law-abiding citizen was targeted by the police solely for the color of their skin. This appears to be one of them.

My apologies for butting in, just thought I'd help :-)
