This reporting makes us look bad [View all]

I am all in with the problems with our police and have knelt for the Anthem as a white man at a Syracuse football game..
However, this article on Huffington Post is what the right is going to use against us.. A black man breaking into his own business to test his security system and someone called the cops... Perhaps, his neighbors were looking out for his business. I am really not sure this was or had any racist intent..
