I agree with Eugene Robinson in this article. The "broken windows" policy of law enforcement has become racist. That was predictable. For those who are interested learning more about this issue, I recommend my book, "The Lineaments of Wrath: Race, Violent Crime, and American Culture," which as one prominent reviewer put it, "explores the deep historical roots [of the present crisis in American race relations] as no other scholar has done."
