It's all about Race

Why do they ask for a description period? I can see that going in on something "in progress" a guy might want to know who to look for. This cop has surely been scrutinized just like Palin, so if his kids have a pimple or anything, I'm sure we would know. From what I've seen, his record speaks for itself. I think some folks think they are "special" or just plain don't like authority. The report was of "2" men, and I wonder how this guy would have felt if the officer had him step outside, and sure enough, there was an intruder hiding behind the curtains with a gun trained on him. Cops don't have the easiest job as it is, and surely don't need some self important asshat making things harder and or more dangerous. I could be biased though, as I have had my life literally saved by the police.

Of course.

I have an idea, take some personal responsibility.

Makes me think of the story about the Brit using the expression "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." The Frenchman translated it into German whereupon the German translated it for the Russian. What the Russian understood was "The meat is rotten but there is plenty of vodka."

Yeah...I guess its time to change the NAME of some organizations that carry the race descriptions...but...guess when money's involved...its a different story.
Do you suppose we could get away with..." The United White College Fund"? Just wondering...
