Thanks to liberal activist judges, the state of Massachusetts has now become the testing ground of radical legal theories inspired by the controversial Black Lives Matter.
Like any number of states in the country, Massachusetts became the site of controversy back in 2011 when police arrested an African-American man identified only as Warren and a companion of his. Citing the fact that both Warren and his associate were wearing clothes that matched the description of criminal suspects, officers attempted to detain them only for the two men to try and flee. Eventually, law enforcement apprehended them and after carrying out a search, discovered Warren had an unregistered gun on his person.
After he was convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm, Warren sued the police and argued that they had no right to detain him. Incredibly enough, the Massachusetts Supreme Court sided with Warren, saying that not only did Warren have a right to flee from police, but any black citizen would have had the right to.

I dont belive this
You seem to be glossing over the fact that these men are suspects simply because of the color of their skin, in a notoriously racist city, with a notoriously racist police department. That is a recipe for disaster. The story here is that the courts deemed that the Boston PD was so racist that black men are legally justified in fleeing from them. Why isn’t that the focus of your ire? I don’t know if this ruling is or isn’t just, but it may be a necessary evil to protect the civil rights and liberties of innocent people. Open your eyes and read some of the comments in this post, because these, for the most part, are real people and American citizens calling for black men to be shot. Not because they’re posing an immediate threat to an officer, but because they’re running away, guilty or innocent. Then imagine being a black man living in a society surrounded by those people and maybe your opinion may be different, or maybe it won’t. Black men make up a disproportionately high percentage of the prison population. Is that because they’re disproportionately violent or criminally inclined or are there other factors in play?
This is wrong . Different laws for people of color . There are more whites killed than blacks by police . The laws need to be the same for everyone .
Rho Wilson very good answer! I like that very much! Straight up and truth.
