26. driving while black

Police think driving while black is a legitimate reason to make investigative stop. In scottsdale arizona a minority police officer tape recorded air traffic on police radio on numerous occasions saying n-word entering north scottsdale a n-word free zone. Ferguson shows demonstrations and rioting works a lot better then liberal whining! As alway "da man" says please stop demonstrating and rioting because we can't ignore your demands until you stop and the business community get really angry. I get complaints when I write about the futility of liberal whining as the whiners complain if I can't whine I might have to go doing something to affect change and thats to hard!
