It must be the skin color, there is no other reason I can think of. That young man looks harmless. Besides, I just read that the place he was going into is a restaurant and a bar. So he might have been going inside to eat.

2015 and a black man cannot enter a restaurant on a college campus, without getting beatdown by racist cops.

Totally unacceptable.
