YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDemocracyNow.org - "They're invading me as if I was invading the Beach of Normandy or something," says John Covington at Sunday's march against the New York City Police Department practice known as stop-and-frisk. "I become a piece of property to them, and they can do anything they want to me because they're the police. You want to have respect for the police, but they don't have respect for us. That's the key to the whole thing. It's about respect. And don't practice racism."
