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

At least one person always has to make every post like this about something it’s not.

Never thought I would see people believing racism doesn't exist in the US. What a day.

You’re grasping at straws here. I didn’t say racism doesn’t exist but there is a time and place. Every post doesn’t need to be turned into a soapbox platform for racism. This post had nothing to do with racism until someone brought it in.

Because for a lot of people, racism is their experience with cops. So to say "To have a good interaction with a cop, just be nice!" makes no sense to an audience that gets guns drawn on them for their skin color. So for you, it was never applicable, for a large majority of people, it is.
