Nah... no big bucks here for them bastids.

Color has no meaning here. Just some guy who didn't follow the rules of the police state.

Cops want every decent civilian un-armed and like to write tickets.

They hate those 911 calls. Could lose their ball-sack from a real bad SOB.

Jackson/Mfume and Sharpton have bigger fish to fry. No money for them.

Writing tickets is ringing the cash register and keeps the citizen-subjects in line. Busting crooks is an expense and a liabibility.A fearful public is a more managable public.

FWIW, If NY wanted to kick up their saging tourist trade they would let the puplic pack heat.
