And another on WhoSay:
Rock is not the silent type when it comes to talking about racial profiling in America — one of the comedian's best-known bits is about "how not to get your ass kicked by the police."
Take Part, which first reported on this story, says:
Rock's point is clear: Racial profiling is endemic in many of America's police departments. Take New York City. Black men make up more than 25 percent of the New York Police Department's stops but comprise a relatively small share of the city's population. As Emily Badger pointed out at The Washington Post late last year, it's a problem that both the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations have tried — and failed—to address.
Rock did not say in his latest post why he was pulled over or whether he was arrested.
