Any black, anywhere could be a recipient of a police mugshot. It's just a fact of life in racist U.S.A. and it's doubly so now that Bush and his 'terrorist Patriot Act' is the illegal law of the land.

Yeah, I second that sentiment. Glad you got it cleared up. Back in that day the racist cops were known for arresting the Panthers and beating the hell out of them, male and female.

Also, does anyone remember Joyce Ann Brown? She spent 9 yrs. in a Dallas prison for a robbery she did not commit. She was imprisoned even though there were plenty of witnesses who saw her at 'work' at the time of the robbery.

She subsequently got out and was hired by a congressman in that region. She wrote a book called "Justice Denied." It's definitely worth checking out. She's a strong black woman that should not have had to go through this injustice.

That story is one of my worst nightmares...thats definitely injustice

I have never had a mug shot taken of me. The only cases would be in the form of violence...justified though. To protect myself from death, my family members from harm, any children I have from abuse, and any black child I see getting beaten bad from dying. Those are the cases where I would do something that could get me in trouble.

I agree with all that say that blacks are a target of police in white run countries....that is too real.
