Yesterday I was walking from a store in Hammond at Calumet & Michigan streets. Moving along sipping a coffee. A noise from behind tells me to look back. I do and it is Hammond's finest calling me. I was carrying my sw40ve concealed and I advised the officer of this and asked why he was stopping me. The officer said that he would tell me later. After he takes my pistol and ammo he says that someone said that I looked suspicious and I was being checked out but not under arrest.Meanwhile I sit in police car 15 minutes while my gun,my permit andI werebeing checked out. I don't have braids,tatoos, or sagging pants I am a large brown skinned greying (some say handsome)46 year old black man. I look like the laborer that I am.I asked what was suspicious about going to a store for a cup of coffee and ciggarettes? He responded that a woman said I looked creepy to her. A "creepy" looking white man would not have gotten police attention. If I had been oc they would have called the swat team and aimed guns at me.
