    WE have gotten so paranoid that if we get stopped we put our hands up high on steering wheel so they can see them. When they ask for DL we ask if it is ok to go into our glove department to get it. I am not giving anyone a reason to shoot me.

    I think when most cops pull over a white person they think: "He or she will cooperate."

    That is a white privilege.

    Or maybe "I can do whatever I want to this person of color and get away with it." Which has proven, over and over, to be the case.
    Not all police officers have good intentions.

    Here they have shot white people for no reason. A woman in her 30's calls the Cops because her Mom is suicidal. They arrive and when the woman that calls runs out to talk to them unarmed they shoot her in the leg and her Mom comes out to help and they kill her.

    Did they get away with it?
    Horrifying.

    Yes they did. I have lived in 5 states and have never seen the cops act like they do here. Another incident I saw was I was downtown at a stoplight and a cop was on one side of the road. A teenager was crossing the street with his headphones on. A car turning in the intersection stopped to ask the kid a question and while answering them the cop starts screaming at him. The kid never looks up so I don't think he saw or heard him. When the kid gets to the other side of street the cop shoves him into a building from behind as rough as he can. NO clue as the light turned and I went. This is not a huge crime ridden city either.
