When I saw the clip about the teenagers on “what would you do” it hit a nerve. When two black children were sleeping in the car, the police were called. Minority children are targeted whether they do something or not. I have seen it plenty of times in New York, where police would target black kids. During one Halloween my mother, brother, and his friend went trick or treating. When coming from a house the cops starting walking towards my brother and his friend. My mother ran over to see what was happening. The cops were trying to pick up my brother and his friend for a robbery that happened several blocks away. The cops really had no description but they were “checking out” everyone on the block. Yet out of everyone, they picked out two black boys who were nowhere near the scene of the crime. This is something minorities go through all the time. White people have the privilege of not going through the same hassle with the cops.
