Driving While Black?

Careful or you'll get beat up by police officers in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Police said they are investigating an incident in which an officer pepper-sprayed an 85-year-old man during a traffic stop.

Leon Nins said officer Michael Lee also beat him after he took too long to stop his car. Police deny that and say Nins attacked Lee.

Yes, even if you're 85 years old.

To be fair, the CNN news report also says,

Police reports said Nins did not stop for nearly a half mile after Lee began trying to pull him over

I've got a source that says he also had his blinker on the whole time.
