NBC29 Local News Article: "Would Christopher Matthew have been wrongly arrested if he was a white man? It's a question on the minds of many residents in Charlottesville. Matthew's case has once again brought up the controversial discussion of police and racial profiling in central Virginia.

Many Charlottesville residents we spoke with Thursday say you can't help but discuss the role race may have played in the wrongful arrest of Christopher Matthew.
