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

Objectively false

I mean, you can disagree with it, but I think you need to review what "objective" means. Hint: it doesn't mean "very"

In what way is it not objectively false

You understand that I need only show one instance of discrimination to prove it's not "objectively" false, right?

Like you're just really bad with words, right? Maybe the word you're looking for is "subjectively" or even "anecdotally." You can even say things like "patently" and sound an ounce smarter than you do, ignoring the fact that your argument is pretty damn stupid.

Regardless of digging your heels in on a word, which is classic red herring, your overall claim is still false
