Stopped for being black

Wrong place, wrong time: I was walking through downtown Boston Thursday when a man in a van stopped me. I thought he might be a lost suburbanite looking for directions. But no, he was a Boston Police officer looking for a suspect. And for a couple of tense minutes he thought I might be his guy. He was looking for a black man in his 40s, and I was the nearest thing in sight.
