I grew up in a bad part of the Bay AreaAs a 44yr old white male I’ve been pulled over by police many times for various offenses in my life, almost always while holding cannabis and often times under the influence. Only once was I ever asked to get out of the vehicle and on that occasion I was a passenger. And I’ve never had my vehicle searched or been asked questions that are fishing for probable cause. It’s almost always something like “I pulled you over for doing 77 in a 55. I’ll reduce it to 74 so you don’t have to go to court. Don’t let it happen again.”
-So delusional, they go the mat when white cops do this. You are 100% Authoritarian, love using the govt to hurt people you do like, yet has tantrums about mask mandates during a Pandemic. Also backs the strong over weak every time without a thought about right vs. wrong. Get help.Maybe because they outright murdered someone?

You've experienced more white privilege than I have.

51st and MLK in 1998. Oakland PD has its share of issues but they let the (rowdy)motorcycle club I hung out with off the hook a lot more than the black family playing loud music next door.I grew up in a bad part of the Bay Area
This was not my experience
How do you, a white guy, know people of color (aka colored people) have a different relationship with the police, period?Do you guys have any black friends? Seriously, do you?
People of color have a different relationship with the police, period.
I have never had the police roll up on me with guns drawn, and I did some stupid @ss stuff over the years.
Sitting in the backseat of my best friend’s car (with tinted windows) I can tell you he was treated differently than I was, complying or not. Didn’t matter what race the cop was.
because I’m in a mixed family, and have non-white friends. But what do I know.How do you, a white guy, know people of color (aka colored people) have a different relationship with the police, period?
My experiences with cops have been almost universally negative.
That includes my experience with customs too.
I'm white.
you mean you’re not a flip?How do you, a white guy, know people of color (aka colored people) have a different relationship with the police, period?

I'm white.
I certainly hope not.So are we gonna see nationwide inner-city riots tonight? The media hype machine seems to be cranked up to 10 on this.
You can't tell me what a black person goes through at a traffic stop. You've never been in their shoes.because I’m in a mixed family, and have non-white friends. But what do I know.
I’m not a so justice warrior, just speaking from experience and experience of friends and family
dude, did you not read anything I said?You can't tell me what a black person goes through at a traffic stop. You've never been in their shoes.
Just like a black person can't tell me what a white person goes through at a traffic stop.
I think people of all cultures and colors - including white - have a lot of falsely perceived injustices based upon their race or culture.
Weird thing is, I was once told, by a black person, that black "authority figures" often treat other blacks worse than they treat white people, and white "authority figures" often treat blacks better than they treat whites. He was referring to one-on-one personal interactions with people like cops, teachers, nurses. Never knew what to make of that.
Obviously he was referring to modern times but it gave me pause and still does.
Sure I don’t like paying fines. Nobody does. But as a white male I’ve never had reason to fear for my life during a traffic stop. My gut reaction when I get pulled over is more about the fine I’m likely gonna pay and how much time I’m gonna lose out of my day on the side of the road than my personal safety. That’s not the same for black people, particularly young black men.You've experienced more white privilege than I have. "I pulled you over because you look like the kind of guy that would have dope in your car."
The bottom line is avoid the cops.
Antifa doesn't like these cold winter nights, and many missed their flights.So are we gonna see nationwide inner-city riots tonight? The media hype machine seems to be cranked up to 10 on this.
That’s the plan.So are we gonna see nationwide inner-city riots tonight?

Did your pig friend whisper that in your ear while he had you in a rear naked chokehold?That’s the plan.
