Guess we're not allowed to drive home while black either

Once,I parked my car a half block away from my apartment.Left the lights on. Car battery dead the next morning. While waiting by my car for RoadsideAssistance AS INSTRUCTED. Man came at me SCREAMING.Called the police saying I was a drug dealer.Luckily AAA came before the police.

Yup! Being an occasionally absent minded deserves police intervention.

My black gf who’s a physicians asst will only wear scrubs while driving her bmw..she works all hours & constantly gets pulled over. I live in a different reality, a different America. I wish everyone could switch places for a day and see what reality is like for PoC in America.

It definitely takes its toll on everyone but the people who perpetuate it.

I haven't been pulled over for an actual violation in over 10 years. I HAVE been pulled over after being followed when I was with my roomate. The cop came up to the driver's window, looked past me & asked for my FRIENDS I.D. 3 guesses what color he is...

Are we though?

I hear you, and appreciate your passion to reply and my question wasn't meant as disrespect to you. However, looking at not just the recent events but the repeated history of everything from minor inconveniences to horrific, unthinkable atrocities being committed against others

"not enough people care to show it" and that is a huge part of our country's problem.

Just know for all the bad apples out there...there are 5 times more good ones. I know it's hard to believe at times, but I do think it's true. But...let's find his name!!

We need to start having legal consequences for frivolous calls to the police, especially if there is no viable explanation other than racial bias. And of course, blocking someone from getting into their home should be a legal violation.

Anyone out there know about this? Police? Lawyers? Is it possible to track and pursue sources of frivolous calls? I don’t really know where to start but I am going to do some research on this tonight.
