Okay, They REALLY Need Axel Foley Back Working With The Force ASAP

If you don't understand the fuss being made about the police and their dealings with black people, consider this: A TV producer was stopped, handcuffed, and booked by the Beverly Hills police as he exited a restaurant on suspicion of being part of a bank robbery. The police's reason for detaining him in lieu of $100,000 bail for six hours: He's tall, bald, and black. That's it. And they waited hours before reviewing security footage from the bank that clearly showed it wasn't him. This is a guy who does not look like a bank robber, does not have the background of a criminal, has an MBA and an IMDB page, and they treated him like a criminal for hours. Profiling is one thing, but BAD profiling is inexcusable. And if you're African-American, or any minority, you have to worry about this all the time. (LAist)
