RACE MATTERS - #LivingWhileBlack

"#LivingWhileBlack: How does racial bias lead to unnecessary calls to police?" PBS NewsHour 7/2/2018

IMHO:  The police who are doing this give a bad name to all the other police officers who do not over react.

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  A profusion of national incidents in which white citizens have called police on black citizens engaged in everyday activities shows how racial bias can escalate into confrontation and even violence or death.  Yamiche Alcindor examines the concerns, highlighted by hashtags and memes like #LivingWhileBlack, with NAACP president Derrick Johnson.
