"Got You Pegged" on This American Life


Image by Robot Hunter, This American Life Episode 362

This American Life this week has a rerun of the "Got You Pegged" with "stories about the pitfalls of making snap judgments about others". Particularly Act 1: "The Fat Blue Line" seems relevant in the wake of the Gates arrest scandal. This is a story by Richard Price (of The Wire, Lush Life, Clockers) about an absurd (possibly exaggerated) incident of racial profiling by New York police.
