4. Bag containing crack residue?

I'm curious how far away these cops were when they "saw him holding marijuana". Unless you're right up in someone's face, it looks quite a bit like regular tobacco. And it's not as if they knew the bag contained crack residue just from looking at it.

This shit pisses me off.... It's an obvious attempt by police to justify actions which were clearly "excessive" after the fact by painting the victim as a heinous criminal. Put my white ass in a business suit in a swanky rich neighborhood, and I guarantee you that while holding the same items I wouldn't even be given a second glance by the cops.
