Mr. Rangel and these other so called black community leaders need to wait and hear all the facts before they assume that every incident against blacks in our communities are racially motivated. These representatives of the black community need to get more involved when there are black on black crimes and not only when a white officer kills a black man.

IT IS SAD TO SAY IN THIS DAY AND AGE AS A BLACK YOUNG MALE OR FEMALE YOU STILL HAVE ISSUES. THEY SAY THERE IS NO RACIAL PROFILING BUT IF INTERNAL AFFAIRS HAD SOMEONE IN EACH COMMAND THEY WOULD FIND IT TO BE TRUE. I HAVE A BLACK MALE CHILD WHO HAS BEEN FOLLOWED ONE MILE BY POLICE TO BE STOPPED WHEN HE APPROACHED HIS HOME. NO CHARGES. NO EXPLANATIONS. SAME SON SITTING IN BEAUTY PARLOR ON FULTON ST. WAITING FOR RELATIVES VISITING FROM SOUTH. TWO WHITE POLICE WALKING BEAT ENTERS BEAUTY PARLOR APPROACHES HIM AND ASK FOR I.D. LEFT NO PAPER WORK DONE. APOLOGIZED FOR MISTAKE. WHAT MISTAKE? HE IS IN A SHOP.NO ONE CALLED THEM. I TELL MY SON TO CARRY A NOTEBOOK HE IS STOPPED SO MUCH BY POLICE. CLEAN CUT LOOKING. I PRAY EVERY DAY AND TRY TO TOUCH BASE WITH HIM. HE IS AN AVERAGE MALE.DARK COMPLEXION 5FT.7IN 160ILS LITTLE FACIAL HAIR.HOW MANY STOPS FOR NOTHING. EVEN GOING UPSTATE LEAVING TOLL BOOTH. STATE TROOPER STOPS HIM.GIVES HIM A TICKET FOR PULLING OVER TO THE WRONG SIDE ON STOP. WHEN DOES THE MADNESS STOP. ALL OF THEM NEED TO BE RETRAINED AND A LOT OF SENSITIVITY AND COMMON SENSE TRAINING GIVEN. I PRAY FOR THE GOOD THAT GET CAUGHT UP WITH THE BAD.
