I ve been to East Lansing several times.
My barber is in Downtown East Lansing.
I go shopping in East Lansing a lot.
I m African American. And I ve never been pulled over in East Lansing.
Am I lucky? Was it my car? Was it because I m there mostly during the day?
Or is it just a matter of time?
And even though I haven t been pulled over, news like this bothers me and makes me think.
Data from the East Lansing Police Department showed African-American residents in East Lansing were almost three times more likely to be pulled over by police than Caucasians. (WLNS)
