I am always amazed at how quick people are to dismiss race as a factor.
And yet blacks are still pulled over a disproportionate number of times. "Driving while black" is real.
In this case, the guy was driving with his emergency blinkers on, slowed down before the traffic light in question, and was clearly driving towards a hospital. Kind of unlikely that he was a criminal, and even while stopped the cop still took his god damn time while he knew the person was in a hurry.
And all of this comes in the heels of a scandal where not far from dallas a police department was targeting black drivers for a scam where they were forced to donate their items to the police department or be charged with bogus crimes.
