New York Times op-ed columnist Charles M. Blow says he’s “fuming” after his son was allegedly stopped by a Yale University police officer at gunpoint Saturday night because he apparently fit the description of a possible burglary suspect.



“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,’” Blow tweeted on Saturday (https://twitter.com/CharlesMBlow). “He was let go when they realized he was a college student and not a criminal.”
Blow added: “He’s shaken, but I’m fuming!”

Quite a misfortune, but what does he want? That cops not target people who match the description of the perpetrators? "Hey that guy matches the description of the suspect who robbed the liquor store, let's go check him out." "No, we can't, because if it's really not him, his feelings will be hurt."

I think he's upset that the cops had guns. I'm not sure he's thought it through.
