Then it happened, in March 1995:
 
A Haverford Township Police officer arrested Ed Cummings.
 
His crime?
 
Talking with African Americans in a parking lot. A heavily monitored group...
The *sole* reason Ed Cummings was targeted was because he was talking to
black people.
 
What was he arrested for?    Suspicion of drug dealing. (I'm guessing here.)
 
Did he have any drugs?       None.
 
How do you arrest someone for drugs when they don't have any?  I don't know.

What did he have?            Electronic components: crystals.

No, not Starship
