With your reefer joints, your bongo drums, and bad mouthin' your country?
And whatnot?

I used to get hassled by the cops all the time when I was a teen and college student, driving very beat-up cars because that was all I could afford. It didn't seem to matter how carefully I drove, they would still find a reason to stop me.
Later I wore three-piece suits all day, every day, and drove very nice cars. I had lawyers that worked for me and knew how to use them ... but it was never necessary.
The cops didn't hassle me anymore.
It seems to me, based upon my own lifetime of experience, that some of the cops at least were looking to make their quotas of stops or busts with the weaker (economically) members of the herd ... those less likely to be able to push back, to have them deposed or examined by attorneys for the other side ... to know their rights ... to make them look bad if there was really no reason for the interaction in the first place.
The blacks have doubtless suffered this heavily; and, the more honest and upstanding they are, the more unjust.
Senator Tim Scott (important Trump ally) has stated that he has been pulled over seven times while driving to the Capitol (between 2013-2016) and required to produce I.D. He goes on to say that none of his white colleagues has experienced this.
Most major police departments are now fully-unionized government agencies where it is difficult to fire someone who is not doing a good job.
That's where we're at, folks. We've allowed a situation to arise which BLM and the socialist movement can successfully exploit.
I just wish that while we're "Defunding" some police departments we could "Defund" the State Dept, the EPA, the Dept of Education, the U.N., Obamacare-Medicaid and quite a few other government programs.
Alex was pulled over for speeding; the officer came to the drivers window and said, “Sir, may I see your drivers license and registration?” Alex said, “Well officer I don’t have a license, it was taken away for a DUI.”
The officer, in surprise, said,” Do you have a registration for the vehicle?” So Alex replied, “No sir, the car is not mine I stole it, but I am pretty sure I say a registration card in the glove box when I put the gun in it.”
The officer stepped back, “There is a gun in the glove box?!?” The man sighed and said, “Yes sir, I used to kill the woman who owns the car before I stuffed her in the trunk.”
The officer steps toward the back of the car and says,” Sir do not move, I am calling for backup.”
The officer calls for backup and about ten minutes another highway patrolman arrives. He walks up to the window slowly and asks the man for his drivers license and registration.
Alex said,” Yes officer ,right here.”
It all checked out so the officer said,” Is there a gun in the glove box sir?”
Alex laughs and says,” No officer why would there be a gun in the glove box.” He opened the glove box and showed him that there was no gun.
The second officer asked him to open the trunk because there was reason to believe that there was a body in it. Alex opens the trunk - no dead body.
The second officer says, “Sir I do not understand, the officer that pulled you over said that you did not have a license, the car was stolen, there was a gun in the glove box, and a dead body in the trunk.”
Alex looks the officer in the eyes and says, “Yeah and I’ll bet he said I was speeding too.”
Used to be that no public employees could form a union. Not saying this correctly probably. People whose salaries come from taxpayers should not be allowed to unionize imho.

Very well said Dis. I am honestly surprised how much my understanding of blacks and cop interaction has changed in the last year. You mentioned Senator Scott, I have not just heard, but watched so many video’s of this exact type of treatment between cops and the black community.
Thanks for your comment, and sorry you were harassed as well.
