I'm a young portuguese guy who with a tan can be mistaken for someone who is of mixed race.

I stepped out of a pharmacy the other day in a hoodie, got into my white CLS63 AMG, and was followed by a cop (who was at one point parked) out of the parking lot and a mile down the road.

So what you say?

I received a text message from a friend (freelance photog who monitors the emergency frequencies) that a dispatcher was reading my info over the police radio. He wanted to know if I had been pulled over. The cop had run my plate for absolutely no other reason than having a hoodie on, not appearing 100% white, and getting into the car i got into. She obviously couldn't do shit because I was 100% legit and violated no laws.

This shit happens. So excuse me for being sympathetic to Treyvon and his family's cause.
