Body-cam footage confirms: Police are just plain more polite to white people

47. You got lucky. It is just a matter of time before YOU cross paths with one of them...

A racist police officer that is looking for trouble.

My husband is a very dark skinned, tall & big south asian man. He is a soft spoken man who is a highly educated professional. When he got pulled over for speeding (10mph over), the officer came to the window looking for trouble. My husband remained calm, respectful and deferential the entire interaction. Hell, he even apologized THREE fucking times and the jackass was still going off about speeding in an angry, volatile manner.

I can hold my tongue but my facial expressions are never held back. The cop looked at me a few times and if looks could kill, he would have died a thousand times.

I will never forget that day. That day was the day we had to explain to our kids about shitty cops and what we, people of color, need to do in a situation like that in order to stay ALIVE.

So while it hasn't happened to you YET, don't be fooled to think it is because you are more special than we are. It doesn't matter how educated or successful you are. Or who you know or how perfect your English is. These assholes only see color.

In my glares at him, the name on his badge etched into my brain. I waited until the next day when I have worked through my anger, that I filed a complaint. And while I doubt it will do much, I know I did as much as I could. My hope is that others will do the same.
