“Rubbish. It started in the 60s when conservatives decided that kids with long hair were dangerous and had to be put in their place by the police.”Seems to me that the notion that cops should automatically assume the worst about any black person doing something a cop felt he shouldn’t do or being in a place where a cop felt he shouldn’t be, predates the 1960s. It predates the 1860s, too.
