I wouldn’t like that either.
Ok. Here’s a thing I went through a couple times.
Driving around with a friend of mine, black guy, IT dude, was working for one of Steve Bannon”s companies that rented office space at, if I remember correctly, the Tibetan embassy in nyc, and drove a bmw.
This one time we were going to Newark to watch a fight at another guys place.
I have never experienced the scrutiny from police like that. Followed repeatedly by more than one police car, one even pulled up next to us in a gas station, right next to us and stared in the car.
As a middle aged white guy this isn’t something I ever experienced and found it shocking.
My friend just said, it is what it is and happens all the time.
Live your life like that and then figure out why there could be attitude.
I’ve been pulled over 3 times in a 2 mile drive going home, it was the late 60s and I used to call those stops that happened frequently, “long hair in an old car”.
Black dudes in expensive cars can be drug dealers, not just ballplayers.
However, Teddy Roosevelt’s rule was walk softly and carry a big stick.
De-escalation is skill both the police and other people need to learn.
Police can phone in a license plate number and get suspect information. I thought that was a standard procedure.
