There Isn't Enough Time To Tell Every Story Of Police Brutality Against African Americans [View all]

After reading what being titled "The Moment" on twitter, a tale of an African American man harassed by police for the egregious crime of giving money to a homeless person, Thom Hartmann listens to stories from his African American callers who faced similar abuses by police, all for no other reason than because they are black. How common are these stories? Do you have a story of racial police harassment?
