Is this woman serious?
She wasnt wearing her name badge, she recently had a makeover, she waltzes past security and when they try to stop her she slaps the officer.. But the POLICE are the ones out of line?
The worst part is this officer is going to probably lose his job if he doesnt publicly apologize. And even then its going to spark up another racial debate.

Ah, what the hell, I'll just jump right in.
You have to admit though, if you took the average African American off the street and asked them how many times have they been accosted by law enforcement justly and how many times have they been accosted for no reason other than the color of their skin or the kind of car they drive, more often than not, it's highly questionable.
Not saying that there isn't a clear case as to why the officer reacted the way he did, just saying that you might cry wolf as well after a lifetime of being hunted by wolves.
