My point is that just being a person of color in anyplace....
Seems to warrant a call to the cops.....
This guy was a walking, talking, moving, billboard for issues, and... silence!

I understand that there is no probable cause, no law against being weird, etc., etc.,

My Point is that a person of color gets a call for just going about their daily business, and this guy
was a poster boy for "something's up"... and nothing!

Just trying to point out the double standard...

I suppose the subtlety of the issue is lost here somehow.
