Well before the internet there wasn't a hell of a lot you could do about it. I mean, you knew that cops were not stereotypically very nice to black people, but we didn't have all this documentation. That has a big impact. It sort of forces the conversation. And, again, the internet makes the country small enough that we can actually start to have that sort of conversation.
