I can attest to her story. When I came back to the states after my london trip in october, every person of color was asked to step aside for searching. I'm white and they took my word that I didnt have food or stuff. When I was waiting for my luggage, officers were wandering around stopping people and asking them why they were in the states, asking for proof that they were returning to where they came from...etc I was shocked by how aggressive the cops were. I've never had a problem with the cops. It does make me ashamed to be an American and more and more I have thought about moving to another country. I don't stand for these kind of ideals. And I am ashamed of what we are doing in the middle east.
