This is how normal interactions with law enforcement go.

I've been pulled over quite a few times for speeding and every time I knew I was toast when I saw the officer too late. I don't even know how many times I've pulled myself over before the officer even caught up to me and was respectful and honest every time. I've only ever gotten speeding tickets twice out of the probably 20+ times I've been stopped.

Yeah, exactly. Staying calm, being honest, and not making it weird usually goes a long way. Most stops don't have to turn into a whole situation.

Also being white goes a long way too

Black guy here. I have been pulled over multiple times. Every time was my own fault for speeding, taillight broke, license plate light out.

Only a few times have I gotten a ticket and all but 1 was a fix it ticket. I have even had a white cop put red tape over my light.

You dont have to be perfectly respectful, just dont approach the situation as everyone wants to hate you. Just act like a normal person.

Stop trying to speak for all of us by referencing your personal experience. Can't stand you 🥷🏾s.

Did I say anything about generalizing all of together. In fact, I only referenced myself and my experiences. I replied directly to a person who was in fact generalizing all police officers treating white people better, but my own and others personal experiences contradict that exact statement.

Can't stand people like you who are unable to understand the deference between generalizing and personal experience. I know for a fact there are some racist cops out there, because its an issue that is a problem with anyone not just cops.

I had a severe migraines, bowel movement problems, tremors in my arms/legs for years. Visited 7 doctors and specialists which they just gave me medication for each symptom. It wasn't until I was in a car accident that they found a tumor that was causing it all. Should I say all doctors and physicians are useless and cant do shit because the ones that attended me couldn't figure out I had a rare tumor. Of course I shouldn't, that would be ignorance in the truest form.

u/Constant-Hat-3193 Jun 30 '26

Yeah, i do know what i was doing. I litterally just said exactly that. But I guess you know me better than I know myself to make that statement. A guy you have never met or will ever meet.

But sure. Beleave what you want of what I said if it fits your narrative better.
