This is true. No need for armor when you just heat-seek black drivers in 1990 model cars all day that cant afford a large pepsi, forget buying bullets.
Speaking of traffic stops..This one cop took a look at my tags which were all messed up, no plate, no inspection, etc. And he came back to the window, said nothing about it and told me to slow down. Like he glarred at my lack of plate with his flashlight, was like "hurr durr...nothing here....humdeedum...inspection not current either....humdeedum" Casually walks back to my window and says cool story. Yikes.
I felt the guilt of white privilege and the realities of class warfare. If I was driving a beater and if my license didn't indicate that I came from a well-off neighborhood you know I would have got tossed.
Shit like that has happened 4-5 times. Gives me the willies. One time I was speeding home 85-100 mph off and on late at night like midnight on a weekday, turns out state police had been following me for 15 miles just watching me swing lanes no signal just appeared completely out of control. I get stopped off the highway, he asks where I am going without saying anything else. I said blahblah my apartment. He said real cool and slow-like "yeah, I saw the whole thing...been following you since a few towns back..." I said "...Really...". That was my only explanation to him. Acting like the white speeding turkey with entitlement that I was. Exchange was riddled with .... moments on both sides.
He wrapped it up by writing me a 65 in a 50 zone ticket and said something to the effect of "This could have gone really bad if this was someone else"
