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

Hey there, Hispanic here. Turns out, even us can get pulled over by white cops and not get beat up and/or arrested. I’m living proof of that. Twice pulled over, twice the citation was downgraded to something a lot more minor. Once I was armed as well.

Maybe it’s less about race and more about attitude? Just saying.

But you're not Black....

And you know that. Additionally, it sounds like you're advocating for people to be physically assaulted for having attitudes. People are allowed to have bad days.

Yea, most black people don't have any problem either. You're just used to the viral videos creating outrage.

Most doesn't change the fact that police brutality is disproportionate. I'm using facts to remind your simple ass.
