I’ve also been accused of fighting someone else’s fight, because I’m not black. However, the empirical evidence shows that the enforcement mechanisms are systematically racist, if not overtly. I’ve actually had a cop, who thought I was a friend, say to me, “We don’t worry about the white kids.” Barry Bonds’ steriod use has warranted a $55 million congressional investigation. Even if this local LEO decides to pursue charges it will likely be a misdemeanor offense.
