I read a bit more about this. It was ten years ago, under a different sheriff (but same county). According to he story I read, there was a big drug sweep going on, with specific suspicion on the part of the police (not just this local sheriff's dept.) that the Crips were running drugs along I-70. Knowing that the likelihood of a white person being a member of the Crips is something less than zero, the Eagle Co. sheriff focused his attention on black motorists passing through his county. They got hit with a racial profiling suit, and settled out of court for $800K -- but did not admit to any wrongdoing. They were just making the lawsuit go away. My take on it all is that the sheriff at the time probably stepped over the line, but that it wasn't as evil as it sounds -- they weren't just pulling blacks over for the heck of it.
tell you the truth, I have so little patience or respect for the media, including Fox, that I will listen to stories for about a half a minute and then turn the channel..
thank God for baseball and my garden.....
