Using the hashtag #crimingwhilewhite white citizens of
America are tweeting personal experiences with police officers where they were
allowed to get away with their crimes.
This cyber campaign against the unjust treatment of black citizens by the police began a day after the death of Eric Garner, a black man who was choked to death by the NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo.
The man who started the movement was Jason Ross, a writer for The Tonight Show. After tweeting his own experience with law enforcement officials, he called on everyone to join him. The #crimingwhilewhite is gaining astounding momentum.
