Gotta wonder......

Not sure what to think of this, especially given what's been going on in Ferguson, MO (video embedded).

Okay, I'll bite, but on my terms. Gotta wonder...what?

Read the article, watch the video (if you haven't already). Then we can talk.

Did before I responded, refer to the question I asked you.

I'll check back in a while as this must have put you in a $4it or go blind loop.

I meant no disrespect when I asked the question.

The way I look at it, this is a "think about it" story if I ever saw one. I mean that from a perspective of what might have happened if this young man were black and carrying. Or, perhaps if this young man had been a Hispanic youth under the same circumstances.

These policemen exhibited remarkable calm and restraint in dealing with this very recalcitrant "know-it-all". That they ultimately took him into custody for obstruction is a testament to their good judgment, and I give them full credit where credit is due right alongside their rationale for asking for ID in the first place.

Just gotta wonder. That's all.

My crystal ball is missing and I'm not Claire. As in voyant. Looks like you're race bating to me.

Look at it how you may. There is plenty of race-baiting, as you call it, going on in The Courthouse. I never asked for a clairvoyant response. I said (didn't ask) "gotta wonder".

And apparently you still are (wondering). Call the Aurora PD and ask if they would have done anything differently if the only change in circumstances was skin color.

There isn't a racist behind every badge.
