If this case was to make it to the Supreme Court and be upheld, or not be granted cert on appeal, it could change the entire face of law enforcement, when it comes to minority populations.

I don't think given the state of the USSC this has any chance of being upheld. I think they would review it and give a bunch of nice pats on the head in their briefs. Especially when we look at profiling victimization numbers of youth people compared to black people overall, they're somewhat similar. Overall it seems like an entire case driven by confirmation bias, which is a SCARY thing when it leaks into policy.

Nah, the Old Boy's Club will ensure that none of the officers would be brought to justice.

The police are little more than roving street gangs who are immune to legal consequences. Everyone should fear them. We have no counter-solution to these criminal elements terrorizing our streets.
