Those saying "he should have complied" are complete fucking idiots. I wish every one of those fat old white bastards saying that could get pulled over by a black cop, get dragged out of their cars, have their face ground into the pavement all while the cop is kicking them and hollering "stop resisting!".
I had quite the opposite encounter, 3 white cops with the 4th black cop taking lead. Several years ago.
I used to work 4pm to 2am, My wife has a Salon, hairdresser, well that morning she asked me to go to the 2nd county over to pick up supplies she needed. I left and started the hour 30 minute drive.
I go into State Beauty Supply and ask to pick up the order the wife was supposed to place over the phone.
Get told no order has been placed, so I am like OK I will message her and see what s going on.
Well waiting for her to text me back I fell asleep, remember i got OFF work at 2-2:45 am. I went out there which is a different time zone at 9am my time, we are CST.
So I fell asleep waiting on reply from wife, truck not running keys probably not in ignition, gwt woke up to cop bangin on window with flashlight end, surrounded by 4 cops total.
Roll down my window ask what's the problem, ( no offense here but i live in southern KY and it was 3 white cops and 1 black cop taking the lead here, I am from Detroit) I get told that business owner called in saying I smelled of marijuana and passed out in their parking lot.
Now I don't smoke at all, don't like how it makes me feel, wife smokes tho, she is her own boss. But still this was early morning and my clothes are in a different room.
I get field sobriety tested, and placed under arrest, I complain the whole time is anyone going to breathalize me? urine screen take blood? nope never did, they didn't tow my vehicle, the jail wouldn't test me, but they did delouse me, then released me to walk 19 miles walk back to my vehicle. Down a 55mph 2 lane hwy with no sidewalk most of the way.
I completely felt like the black cop was putting up a front for his white cohorts.
BTW, charges dropped. Unfortunately I was advised to not sue city.
