I don't know, it looks like another "egregious" "breach of space error" by a cop to me...

LOL

In this picture I see real emotion in the faces of both, especially the young man. This kid obviously has good parents or has been raised by someone who hasn't corrupted his mind with racism. I see the makings of a real leader one day, he obviously cares more about bringing us all together than he does throwing fuel in the fire of division and hate.

The cop is also showing a great example to other cops of every race. You have to get to these kids early before they become indoctrinated by racist peers, parents, teachers, etc..

This kid was obviously raised right and has the ability to judge an individual by that individual's actions instead of the fear and distrust that has been pumped into his brain. I wouldn't be surprised if this young man became a real leader for the black community... even at this young age he's a better leader than most grown men and women who insert themselves into these conflicts with the intention to foment anger and division.

Very well said Rick.

A video to watch:
