For this discussion question, I have chosen to discuss the Victor Rios reading “Stealing a Bag of Potato Chips and Other Crimes of Resistance,”. I found this reading to be incredibly interesting as it framed and described the policing of minority populations, through the story of a young man named Ronny.
