In reply to the discussion: Ferguson march met with melon, fried chicken, 40oz beer and racial taunts [View all]R B Garr
(16,950 posts)60. What the issue is what the cops can investigate
or charge you with. The answer to that is, anything they want. Hence, they have animus towards the black community so they are investigating the stepfather.
If they had animus towards those protesters provoking the Ferguson protestors, they could arrest/detain/question/harass them. But they don't have animus towards those using racial slurs -- so no charges and no harassment.
It's not hard to understand.
