albany and what?
which building is this?
we need stop and frisk
It’s scary – these guys are respectably dressed!
I wonder if the cops will stop and question all white and hispanic males 20-30 years old also? no racial profiling, ok?
African Americans?
How do you know they’re “African American”? Maybe they’re Carribean American? Just say they’re Black or say nothing. We all know who’s committing the crimes in Crown Heights anyway…
Fed Up
It is not their fault. They are “poor and oppressed” from being shunned from society.
