jrm4Every black person who has gone to law school has had their "what the fuck" moment on "reasonableness"
"Would a reasonable person walk down an alley in a dangerous neighborhood at night?"
Yes, because that's where my grandma lives you fucking noodle
David Njoku@jrm4 @KFuentesGeorge Or what about the "reasonable" argument that black people should be patient and polite when the policeman stops them for no apparent reason?
Because that's the 10th time they've been stopped that week!
[David Nathanson has moved]@jrm4 @davidnjoku @KFuentesGeorge Things can change. Keep pushing. Black males “when approached by the police, might just as easily be motivated by the desire to avoid the recurring indignity of being racially profiled as by the desire to hide criminal activity. Given this reality for black males in the city of Boston, a judge should … consider the report's findings in weighing flight as a factor in the reasonable suspicion calculus.” http://masscases.com/cases/sjc/475/475mass530.html
