Jacksonville’s enforcement of pedestrian violations raises concerns about another example of racial profiling: propub.li/2hCCBaE After watching a viral video of a Jacksonville cop stopping a young black man for jaywalking, reporters Ben Conarck and Topher Sanders examine how “walking while black” can come at a high price.
