Dorothy Bland; was this racism, or a journalist just trying to stir up something as an experiment?

The Dean of Journalism at the University of North Texas was walking down the street, impeding traffic. Two officer stop her and advise her to walk on the other side of the street. She writes an opinion for the local paper turning it into a race-baiting event. Read her article, the chief of police response, and watch the video.
I think she just wanted something to talk about in class. But, could it be that she is just so determined that the police are always racist criminals that she actually saw it that way? Me... I think a lot of journalist are rating-baiters. They do not care what the truth is...
I think her ethics should be questioned by her students... and maybe her employers...

I concede there's a disparity problem out there, but this ain't it! Good job officers!

True there is, but unfortunately people like that who try to benefit on the genuinely despaired for the sake of benefit erode the trust.

I'm 52. In my life time the change there has been is amazing. Could we have imagined a black president in 1963? I did not vote for Obama, but when he got elected I thought it'll be good, it will unify this country more, boy was I wrong! Thank you Col. for your service.

In my opinion if she was walking in the street impending traffic, then yes, she was trying to stir trouble.

CW5 Jim Steddum - It has gotten to the point that, any time a black person is stopped by the police, it is automatically assumed to be racial profiling by some. This is clearly a situation where the "victim" is seizing this opportunity to push the liberal media racist agenda. She lied about the details of the incident and would have had no qualms if the police officers had been fired because of her lies. She should be fired...
