Cop Hugging Protestor Ferguson Hugs Photo Shows Racism Claims Overblown

Cop Hugging Protestor Ferguson Hugs Photo Shows Racism Claims Overblown The photo of a cop hugging a Ferguson protestor has went viral on social media. Portland Police Sgt. Bret Barnum saw 12-year-old Devonte Hart's free hugs sign and the result was a much talked about picture taken by Johnny Nguyen - one that has been shared 400,000 times on Facebook. The Johnny Nguyen photo shows that the claims that racism is worse today than in the 1960s are way overblown - which should not be a surprise considering many of the people who make those statements weren't even around in the 60s (I was). The problem is an isolated one and is a combination of poor job opportunities, under-educated white men taking police jobs, and , poor police - community training. But the mainstream media combined with social media has made it look like the problem is larger than just Ferguson, or towns like it. Not so.
