My Congressman gets stopped for driving while black. Of course, if the Moony's had their way, Congressman Davis wouldn't even be allowed to own a car, much less drive one.
A black congressman who was issued a ticket this week after being pulled over has accused the Chicago police of racial profiling in the traffic stop.
The representative, Danny K. Davis, Democrat of Illinois, said he was driving his Mercury Grand Marquis just after midnight Monday on the city’s West Side when two police officers pulled him over and asked to see his driver’s license and proof of insurance.
When Mr. Davis asked why they had stopped him, he said, they accused him of weaving, and they ticketed him for driving left of the center line.
Mr. Davis says he did not commit any traffic violation.
“I just could not believe it,” he said Friday. “I had to conclude that race had to have entered the picture, and that the only reason we were stopped is that there were four African-Americans a little after midnight, in a car going down the street. And it really breaks my heart to have to arrive at that conclusion, but I can’t conclude anything else.”

Regardless of my personal feelings toward Congressman Davis, harassment for DWB shouldn't occur to anyone.
