Court
rules that black men
running from Boston police shouldn't be
seen as suspicious
In dismissing a gun crime conviction stemming
from a charge in 2011, the highest
Court in Massachusetts may have set a huge precedent for encounters between
black men and police.*
On Tuesday, the Massachusetts*Supreme Judicial
Court ruled
that black men often have good reason to run away
from police when they have **t committed a crime, and
that police shouldn't view
running as an indicator
that a person is suspicious.*
