"Now, when a group of teenage boys hangs out on the street at night, they think they have a right to be left alone by the police. "

What a shocking idea! You'd think we had the right to "peaceably assemble" or something. What the heck!

By the way, who is "we"? Are you saying that you are an underage B&E artist?

"By the way, who is "we"? Are you saying that you are an underage B&E artist?"

So, you're saying that all groups of black kids on the street corner are B&E artists? I didn't see that in the article.

What about a bunch of white kids, let's say the backfield of the local high school team, are standing around under the street light? Is that OK?

Or, if you have some evidence that all black kids who hang out are thieves, I'd sure be interested to see it.
