New York Times op-ed columnist Charles M. Blow says he’s “fuming” after his son was allegedly stopped by a Yale University police officer at gunpoint Saturday night because he apparently fit the description of a possible burglary suspect.

“So, my son, a 3rd year chem major at Yale was just accosted — at GUN POINT — by a Yale policeman bc he ‘fit the description’ of a suspect,’” Blow tweeted on Saturday. “He was let go when they realized he was a college student and not a criminal.”

Nope, nope. Can't look for a black person if the suspect is black.

So now he’s going to stand up against black on black crime, and the community mentality that attacking officers is just fine, right? Right?

Liberals, they’re like a ground collision alarm in a doomed airliner. All they can do is shout about something which makes no difference.

Yale? Well, I guess they have an Affirmative Action quota to fill.

New York Times op-ed columnist...

On a side note, I can't tell you how many times I dreamed of pointing a gun at a New York Times op-ed columnist.

NWO is cheering on the war between the police and the public.
The police and public have to understand that the NWO is using the totalitarian Leftist media to create the conditions for a civil war.
The real enemies: NWO and the useful idiots of the Leftist media.

So college kids can’t commit crimes?

LOL, that "kills"!!

“He was let go when they realized he was a college student and not a criminal.”

No, he was released once they determined he wasn't who they were after. Why are Urnalists so dumb?!

I think he wants us to know his son made it through two years of college.

“He was let go when they realized he was a college student and not a criminal.”

Blow doesn’t know they aren’t mutually exclusive?

[null and void]

Awwwwwww, doesn’t the NYT 5th columnist want the police state he’s been promoting?

[MileHi]

“He was let go when they realized he was a college student and not a criminal.”

So, the problem is?

[Raycpa]

I think we are heading to a major backlash against the black rascists.

I’m a cracker, and I got pulled over one night for matching the description of a suspect who had just stolen a firearm from a state troopers vehicle.

They interviewed me, then let me go.

Sh!t happens, Mr. Victim Race, get over yourself, no one cares.

Lived in the New Haven, CT area at one point. Yale, although an impressive campus, is practically surrounded by neighborhoods that you want to avoid, especially at night.
The campus is patrolled by Yale police and the area surrounding Yale by the New Haven PD. In spite of that muggings are fairly routine, a Yale sophomore student was murdered on the fringe of the campus by a 16 y/o black kid back when I lived in CT.

Lord knows the police never ever detain a White or Hispanic person if they fit the description of a person wanted in a crime. Apparently now we can’t stop or detain Arabs, Muslims or Blacks, pretty soon the only people left that can be profiled are Whites........................oh wait.

So, Mr. Blow believes that...
A) College Students can’t be criminals, or
B) HIS College Student can’t be a criminal

I’ll go with B.

A description is a description. It gives LEO a means by which to narrow the search for criminals. In pursuing that description, it stands to reason that others may well be queried; absent an acutely distinct description, “8 feet tall, wearing sad clown makeup and walking with a limp, carrying a VW Rabbit” would probably rule out stopping midget transvestites in fishnet stockings.

‘Says it all about Yale. Black son of NY Times columnist gets into Yale, like he really qualified on his own.
