Common sense tells most urban dwellers to show the officer the damn license or I.D....

No it doesn't. That's a police state, not a free state.

Since I grew up black in Detroit, it was drummed into me since I was about seven, old enough to go to the corner store by myself, to always, always be relaxed, polite and ready to show certain information to the cops, otherwise I may end up like Uncle
“X” did when he got a little too mouthy for his own good.
I’m speaking of when you get a reasonable request from an officer.

This is a custom I follow to this day, as it has kept me from being arrested or accosted without due cause. Yes, I know that is not the way you’ve always heard it should be, but for my family, it has been a method of survival for over a generation.
