So how do the police get African-Americans to stop believing that? There is no logic in tying the belief to the police.
70% of the population believe in UFO's, NASA needs to put a stop to that.
Show me how these two statements are any different in what they convey or are asking to be accomplished?
Cite a study of video taped traffic without sound, and let an independent panel of judges determine if a car should have been pulled over, and if the color of the driver could have been determined.
This crap is so tiresome. He didn’t get stopped for “driving while black”, he got stopped for driving poorly. The “while black” part was pure happenstance, which can’t be helped, obviously.
Try this experiment: While driving at night, try to make out the race of the driver of the car in front of you. Generally, all you see is a silhouette
He probably ran his plates before he pulled him over and saw who he was and might have recognized him then. You never know who you could catch driving home drunk!
We pay these clowns $183,500 a year.
Hey Congressman ... is “affirmative action” racial profiling?

There may be more to this than is being said or printed. Around here, most law enforcement gives warning or verbals to elected officials unless they are actually DUI, get hostile or are out of line during the stop. It may be wrong to give officials a break, but that is what happens so long as they dont make an ass of themselves and they can drive unimpaired.
“Lane weaving” is a common excuse for a stop, but I’ll bet the words “Do you know who I am?” were thrown around pretty freely.
