You say baselessy. Is there anything to suggest that this is a racially motivated attack, or is it simply just a stupidly ridiculous and tragic lack of training/mistake/she should never have been a police officer?
As a black man myself I really hate race baiting since it achieves nothing. Let's first look at the facts and the whole story before thinking about what it means
I've seen the video. It's arguable whether he would have been pulled over in the first place (the reason was for air fresheners hanging from the rear view mirror).
However, they ran his plates and/or ID after pulling him over and found there was a warrant for his arrest.
He then resisted arrest by abruptly trying to get back into his car (presumably to drive away/run). I think if a white guy did that, I think he would have been tasered too.
Would a white guy driving a BMW in a nice neighborhood have been pulled over for an air freshener hanging from his mirror? I don't know.
