Ryan Moats run in with police as mother in law was dying
I was going to write about this myself but I just read a post about it over at The Field Negro blog, and I will point you there instead. He has a law background and brought up some really good pointers that I never even thought of if I was pulled over. Black people have forever been pulled over for senseless things by the police, and I agree with The Field Negro that Ryan is lucky he didn’t end up shot.
Unfortunately, I don’t feel hopeful about the police officer really feeling the consequences of his actions. I believe he’s been suspended pending an investigation, but this all too often leads with the police officer back on the beat with a little slap on the wrist. I hope I’m proven wrong this time.
Check out the post. Don’t let the title throw you off (it actually made me laugh).
WHY DO BLACKS ALWAYS TRY TO ESCAPE THE POLICE BY DRIVING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM?

Do you think justice will be served?
What would you have done given this situation?
Do you think that race played a role in the policeman’s reaction?
