No-one should have to explain this to you.
He was arrested for one or a combination of the following: Incompetence. Lies. False positive.
Not for the act of purchasing a legal item (Jolly Ranchers).

No. He was arrested for having meth.
That it turned out not to be meth doesn't mean he was arrested for having (or purchasing) Jolly Ranchers.

I lived in Oak Cliff (southeast Dallas) for a couple years. I was the only white boy in a 3 mile radius... all of my neighbors were very nice, especially my neighbor across the street who went by 'Quixote' and everyone called the mayor of Oak Cliff. I won't judge these people too harshly, but I did notice that many of the young men seemed to have expensive clothes, jewelry, rims and sound systems, but not too many of them seemed to have regular jobs.
Just an observation is all. The only thing I can tell you for certain is this: 2 years among them was not nearly long enough for me to really grasp their culture and internal dynamics. It was a totally different place from where I grew up (Provo, Utah).
I think I sort of understand; I had my own kind of 'bling' at the time.. my gaming computer that I had scraped together over the course of years so I could stay in touch with my family and play games with my brother long distance. People need SOMETHING to point to and say "that's mine" and be proud of, no matter how poor they are. It is human nature.
That is all.

I live in a poor area of town which is mostly populated by minorities right now. And while I occasionally see someone with ridiculous spinning rims or something similar... it's not something I see too often. IMO that's the stupidest reason I've ever heard for the poverty which predominates among urban minorities. Not to mention that it's based entirely on a pop-culture stereotype.

I didn't say it was the reason for the poverty... that is a completely different subject. Stereotypical or not, it held true in the neighborhood I lived in. I have no idea how widespread it is within urban communities in general.
Either way, as I said, I think I understand it. I had 'bling' of my own, as everyone does (except for Ghandi maybe). I just came from a totally different culture, so my priorities and the way I chose to spend my money were different.

Yup.
"A New York City man arrested this summer for possession of methamphetamine was actually carrying Jolly Rancher candies that cops mistook for a controlled substance, according to a federal civil rights lawsuit."

As I clicked on "Quote", it wasn't me that messed it up. Just another glitch.
I'll edit it though.
