Kimberly Norwood , a black woman and lawyer , lives in a suburb 12 miles from Ferguson . It reminds me of the airline employee who asks before you can check your suitcase : Did a stranger ask you to carry something or pack your bag ? She has been ignored or seen as shoplifting risk in stores , as has her young daughter . She notified police when her sons were walking to school so they would n't harass them . They did not arrest the kids for being white but instead called it " suspicious behavior " which is code for racial profiling.
