On Tuesday, Massachusetts’ Supreme Judicial Court threw out a gun conviction against a Boston man, saying African Americans who flee police may be responding to fear of racial profiling rather than trying to hide committing a crime.

Trump, who’s never demonstrated any real understanding of criminal-justice policy, apparently likes the idea of police being able to stop-and-frisk Americans – including those who’ve done nothing wrong and have been accused of no crimes – effectively at the discretion of individual officers.
Trump has spent the last several weeks asking black Americans for their support and asserting that President Barack Obama has failed the black community, but those appeals have been undermined at times. “Hillary Clinton calls people who don’t support her deplorable, and irredeemable”, the New York City developer said.
As you know, the Republican-controlled legislature in North Carolina has passed laws that a lot of African-Americans see as racist, including a law that amounted to what they call “voter suppression” that was recently struck down, that law.
“Donald Trump is an interesting guy”, said the coach of three national championships.
This is the same Trump who, after the Orlando nightclub shooting, lamented that the victims who’d been partying inside weren’t carrying guns, a statement the NRA disagreed with.

When George Bush senior said he was, you know, going to vote for Hillary.
The president sought to make the distinction between those who have been protesting peacefully and the few who have engaged in violence during two nights of protests that have rocked the North Carolina city following the police-involved shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, an African-American.
Thursday polls also showed Trump with a seven-point lead over Clinton in Iowa, while Clinton led Trump by as much in Colorado.
Is the press too soft on Donald Trump?
“I will stop the drugs from flowing into our country and poisoning our youth and many other people”, Trump declared at an energy conference in Pittsburgh.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio warned Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Thursday against embracing the “stop and frisk” police tactic that he said would worsen relations between police and community in the country. “It’s unbearable and it needs to become intolerable”. Kaine said if Ralph Nader hadn’t pulled away votes from Al Gore in the 2000 election, then the U.S.

But an examination of Trump’s recommendations for policing, terrorism and immigration enforcement reveals a series of policies that civil rights activists and national security veterans fear could have the effect of treating minorities with suspicion and singling them out for heavier government scrutiny. It has the potential to ruin the lives of many millions of people, imperiling their safety, security, freedom and dignity.
