Thanks to this ruling, we can all have the experience of DWB (driving while black). No matter your heritage or race.

Ok, don't get me started on this one. I never EVER saw this happen or heard about it happening in Dallas. Your actions in the car or how you drove to call attention to yourself spoke volumes, but not skin color. Officers don't go looking around and say "Hey there goes a black man! Get him!" Heck in this country today, you are as likely to be stopped 1) in OK just because you got a TX plate, 2) in a small town 'cause you are a city clicker 3) in a small town 'cause you're riding a motorcycle (like me) 4) in the deep south 'cause you're not "local" etc ad infinitum.
The "because I'm black" thing don't wash anymore than any other reason some turkey might stop you.
Dallas used to be clean, until people with questionable backgrounds started getting hired because of their skin color. Then we started seeing lots of crap.

~"you're a racist!!" flame suit is zipped up~

The main point is this ruling stinks. Between this and mandatory minimums and the disgusting WOD, we are closer to a police state than ever before. But it's really the state doing the policing, not the police themselves.
