The Video here his of 4 black guys speaking to white guy with a camera who as he was driving by saw to police officers giving the black guys tickets of some kind. and leaving.
It's kind of long and rambling but basically the 4 guys describe what happened and how it's a regular occurrence for young black men a few of their points.
they live in the neighborhood,
have lived there all their lives.
they know most of the people in the all of the building adjacent to were they are standing.
some of the police in area no this as well
they have no outstanding warrants
and are not criminals.
they were not smoking... anything.
they were not drinking
they were not being loud
they were not harassing people
they were not blocking the side walk.
They did not Stash anything
they say the crime is so low in the area that in the pass several years 3 police precincts have closed nearby
what they say happened:
They were just standing there talking as you might stand and talk your neighbors outside on a nice day.
1st one set of cops roll by, then another , then the 3rd pair stops Approach, and ask each for ID.
they give ID, the cops go back to the car for several minutes then return giving each a summons for a disorderly conduct. which is barely legible
They say this happens fairly frequently.
They say at time the cops will ask for id, go to the car and return ID but not give tickets, however several months down the road you'll find that they did write a ticket and now you have outstanding tickets you never knew about until you are harassed again.
They mention that basically the police do not want young black men on the street unless they are coming or going to their homes. That it's like martial law everyday. you are harassed if you stop or congregated. (BTW this sound exactly like China, crowds of more than 5 people are broken up by police)
They believe that if the white guy had been there with them the police would not have stopped.
near the end of the youtube the police roll by again, see the camera and say to the white guy.
"welcome to the neighborhood Jerk!"
then drive off.
they 4 black guys point out how they welcomed the white guy and were ready to talk to him and be pleasant compared to how the local public servant greets strangers to the neighborhood.
This is their account take it as you will. don't ask me to defend this or that,
or answer this or that point i wasn't there. make your own judgements.
Just putting it out FYI

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
