A Camden man who achieved world-wide notoriety after he was photographed in 1996 being frisked by Gov. Christie Todd Whitman was shot dead early Saturday following a violent argument.
Sherron Rolax was 16 in May 1996 when state police stopped and searched him on a Camden street corner.
Gov. Whitman was riding-along with troopers that day. After troopers patted Rolax down, Whitman was given a chance to frisk him.
A trooper snapped photographs as Whitman - smiling broadly - searched Rolax as he stood with his hands against a wall. Neither the police nor the governor found drugs or a gun on the teenager.
And THAT was actual white-on-black crime.
