"Morse Hellhole, CBS ran a story on this incident tonight. I think a post including a link to the story would be great."

(Rogers Park) - Students at Loyola University charge that racial profiling is a growing problem on campus. The students and their supporters joined forces to demand the university take action.Source.
CBS 2's Dana Kozlov reports it was a frightening moment for about 100 Loyola students Monday when a man - described by witnesses as white - pointed a fake gun at a forum crowd. It ended, according to junior Omar Kamran, when campus police wrongly accused him of being the one who did it.
"He profiled me, basically, because the girl at the front desk gave him the full description of the man, that he was a white male and that he already left the building," Kamran said.
Last September, a group of students say they were simply sitting on a campus bench when a Loyola University police officer demanded to see IDs.
"We asked what we did wrong, and he wouldn't tell us and then he looked us up and down and said 'what crew you runnin' with?'" said Loyola freshman Erica Granados-De La Rosa. "He said 'why don't you...go, why don't you walk three blocks south and join the Gangster Disciples?'" said student Kenneth Owens.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with this story. If you look closely at the photo, those aren't American police at all, and the kid was Photoshopped in.
Nice one Craig. Who needs a photo of Loyola or something actually pertaining to the story when there are fake, more inflammatory images like this one?
How dare they! 3 Blocks south would be my beautiful Thorndale Ave. They must've meant 3 blocks north!
