Sadly, this kind of article presupposes that everyone is treated equally in the eyes of the police, and in the eyes of the justice system. Obviously, we know that this is untrue. The numbers of documented cases of fabricated evidence, falsified reports, trumped up charges against black people are too numerous to turn a blind eye to for all but the most hard hearted. This story alone would certainly make me leery of cops if I were black.
