How dare police do their job and stop someone who fits the description of a suspect?
At least that’s what New York Times columnist Charles Blow was feeling when he took to Twitter Saturday and his Times column Monday to express his anger about his son being stopped at gunpoint by Yale University police.
So, my son, a 3rd year chem major at Yale was just accosted – at GUN POINT – by a Yale policeman bc he "fit the description" of a suspect…

He was let go when they realized he was a college student and not a criminal ( he was leaving the library!) He's shaken, but I'm fuming!

Of course its no surprise that Blow thinks this situation occurred because of racism.

This is exactly why I have NO PATIENCE for ppl trying to convince me that the fear these young blk men feel isn't real #RacialBattleFatigue

I'm still trying to calm myself down…

The Twitterverse promptly called him on his ridiculousness. A crime was reported to police — in this case a burglary — and Blow’s son fit the description of the suspect.
Should police not have stopped him?
@CharlesMBlow Devasting that @YPD1 would do an intensive investigation for a subject. How dare they do their job to keep everyone safe!

@PatDollard @CharlesMBlow Very well put Pat. Sounds like Police doing their job and this Blow guy wants to make a racial deal out of it.

@CharlesMBlow Seriously? Your son being stopped and questioned is no where the same as Gardner or Brown. Get over yourself.

Charles Blow works for The Times. He doesn’t get paid to understand things like that.
