To those saying he didn't get hurt because he was compliant, so was Philando Castile. He had no warrants, was polite and completely cooperative, and still never made it home.
He was not compliant according to the defense. He said he had a gun and was told as we heard on the audio to not reach for it and the officer claimed to fire fearing he was reaching for a gun. Should the officer have been better at his job? Yes. Should Castile have died? No. Shoudk there have been some recourse legally? Perhaps. But don't spin the narrative. Instead of focusing on thr 99.99% of traffic stops of black men resulting in no death or arrest you spotlight one in particular and lie about the circumstances. Shame on you. You aren't helping.
Right. And not everyone can be as composed as him. His friend just told her story and even she broke down during her interaction with police! It must take far less to make people of color have a crisis in this kind of situation, which can make you unable to comply. Officers are trained to recognize a person in crisis.
What was the warrant for? He was being mistaken and investigated for someone who obviously poses a threat. You should be afraid of the guy he was mistaken for. You know... the one with the warrant that merits a high risk takedown.
There was a warrant for the guys arrest, of course the gun is going to gun out to protect the officer. The man complies, is respectful and the officers realizes the criminal actually used this mans name instead of his. They figure the situation out and apologize to the man and everyone goes home safely, great work all around
It's unfortunate that this happened but you have to put yourself in the cop's shoes here. They believe that they are pulling over a dangerous armed felon. It turns out to be a case of mistaken identity. the guy getting pulled over here is just as much a victim of fraud. Of course, in a perfect world, this wouldn't have happened. But we don't live in a perfect world. The dude did everything right to make sure he walked away. My dad always has said to me repeatedly while growing up and even now as an adult, the best thing to do is effectively communicate. That's 95% of what a law enforcement officer is looking for. I praise this guy honestly. He communicated that he wasn't a threat and that he was also communicating I'm going to live to see another day. Turns out it was a mistake and it's terrible that this kind of thing happens, but he made a conscious decision to return home in that encounter. I 100% am all for police accountability but when the public crosses the line the police gotta do what they gotta do. Put yourself in a position to be successful and then you won't even have to worry about it 99.99% of the time. And don't say "what about the 0.01%". In that 0.01%, you could also get shot by a psychopathic gangster, or a drunken asshole could hit you with his car. You can't live life according to the 0.01% anyway so why worry about it. This is a good example of a guy who was being fearful effectively communicating with law enforcement and thus producing a great outcome.
I once had a warrant I didn't know about for failure to appear on a traffic ticket I had forgotten. I got pulled over for a headlight and the officer let me off with a " Get the headlight fixed and check in with the court to reschedule that court appearance, have a good night." A couple months later my sister got a flat on the highway, I was with her, and the only person who stopped to help us was a black guy. When a cop did show up finally, we were all leaning against the car taking selfies while we waited for a tow truck. The absolute stink eye this poor guy got from the cop was beyond asinine. We had made a new friend over the anime Tshirt he wore because we liked the same anime and this cop acted like he was concerned the guy might be "bothering" us. Epilogue: 3 yrs later we're still friends with anime guy.
Just think how that wears down a human being treated like that since 10, 11, 13 years old . And then how at 19 or 20 years old you may have a F the Police attitude to where you may not instantly follow a "command" or you may run away or resist... Or run back to your car because your afraid...RIP DW
@Tiff Talk about it his plates were ran because he was speeding, it's what you normally do to see if you can get any clue as to who you will be dealing with. In this case this guy had a warrant which calls for extreme caution.
When I was growing up, a cop's gun never left its holster until the situation was at an end. Now, the gun leaving its holster is where nearly every situation begins.
It’s wrong that they had the wrong person in the beginning. She should have noticed the tattoo that he didn’t have, but the man they were looking for did. Just putting him in handcuffs was to much. Get it right!!! To many people are dying because of their foolishness.

@@a.i.8583 No it wouldn't. I'm NA, but easily as hell pass as white. I live in the Bible Belt and once got pulled, cop was chill as hell until he saw my license. Then all of a sudden it "put your hands on the steering wheel and keep them where I can see them." When I had to tell him I'd just gotten my inspection and needed to reach behind the seat for my purse, so I could get my new registration out of my wallet, he wasn't cool with that at all. I am a 5'6, 125lb woman, and this lardass, 6'1 275lb male wouldn't let me reach back. So I told him "Fine, sir, I am moving my left hand to unlock my back doors. Please open my back driver's side door and retrieve my purse for me. Inside you will find my wallet, which you had NO ISSUE with me retrieving when you thought I was WHITE. Please open it and retrieve my registration since a big man such as yourself is so scared of a woman that's half your size." He did, he was a dick after that, and gave me a ticket for doing TWO MPH OVER, which I took to court and fought, and got thrown out. I did report his badge number and name, but since ACAB, I'm sure that fuckall was done about it.
@@abdikadir7511 You're suggesting that African Americans are shot because of their skin color, and not because of their actions? There's multiple, MULTIPLE instances of white people being shot by trigger-happy cops. Look up "Daniel Shaver shooting." Show me an instance where a cop has genuinely been over-aggressive, rude, violent, etc with a minority (or anybody for that matter.) Do this, and I'll stand right alongside you condemning that officer's actions. But, to just assume that simply reaching for a backpack will get you shot by police is absurd. I got pulled over by a state trooper in Vermont doing 83 in a 55mph zone. I didn't even get a ticket. Why? I was cool with the cop. I didn't scream "Fuck the police," in his face. I didn't initiate a high speed chase. You'd be surprised how cops are pretty mellow most of the time if you give them respect. I'm not white, either.
Mistakes don't kill, resisting an arrest can. People think that policing is easy, the reality is that policing is hard, because if you pull over someone, you can be killed before you extract your gun. In this case the man was pulled over not because he is black, or because they wanted to kill him, but only because he was speeding and after mistaken for someone that he wasn't. Maybe the guy that they had the warrant for..in the past has killed different people, maybe he was arrested for illegal possession of a firearm, maybe he shot to some police officer in the past. Policing is not easy, and people need to understand that. I was pulled over in the past, for "speeding" and i tried to make stupid things and i almost got shot, and not cause i'm black, but because i made stupid choises. Ps..the officer thought that i was reaching for a gun, and if he had shoot me, well, that would me my fault. There was a warrant of a criminal with long history of crimes, but that also the wrong person. If someone is holding the gun and not pointing at you, not a problem, but the real problem comes out when the gun is pointed. He is "crying" on himself, but this is how it works, both for whites and for us blacks. if we want to be honest, the cops avoid bullshitting blacks because they know they can be accused of racism, even if what they are doing is just following the training. This video is bullshit.
@@YorickUnexpected The excuse in your first paragraph is absolutely disgusting as you’re excusing police that decide it’s okay to have their firearms out 24/7 and be trigger happy simply because “I could be killed before I take out mine.” That is SO STUPID. All it becomes is a game of: Who can pull out their gun the quickest? The unsuspecting, INNOCENT, UNARMED civilian or the trigger happy cop who actually had a head start because he pulled out his gun before he even opened his car door 😀👍🏾 Secondly, if the cops TRULY pulled over the man for speeding, why did they not TELL HIM THIS after they realized it was the wrong guy? Hm? Why did they not give him a ticket for speeding? Oh I know why! Because they used the speeding excuse as a way to save face. In that video, they didn’t tell him he was being pulled over for speeding before or after they asked him to step out of his vehicle or the police car. “Maybe the guy they had a warrant for did this, maybe he did that” Yeah well maybe police should double check who the REAL suspect is before placing bets on what the felony charge was for. How about that? You do realize that cops are not judge, jury and executioner right? You do realize that their job is not to shoot and kill people as they please right? What were you ACTUALLY reaching for? Enlighten us. The cop thought you were reaching for a gun and if he filled you up with lead, ah you know, “my bad g🤷🏾♀️” That’s dumb. And why don’t they reach for their TAZERS first? Why is it always their guns that they touch? Riddle me that since you seem to know it all.
@@wellsht7830 1)Tazers are ineffective in 70% of the cases, a percentage too high to be accepted, that's why more police officers are shooting more and more, because they woke up . 2) Today the job of a police officer is " avoiding to be killed" , not to kill people. 3) I do not spend any more words because it is useless to talk to people who think like you when you have the fact in front of you and you deny them. The same way of thinking of people who support blm, while destroying other afro businesses, while killing other afro, and while the woman who runs blm is making millions and millions of dollars on the backs of the fools who follow her. You are right guys, if we have a possible criminal with a warrant for illegal possession of weapons, first we bring him a good coffee to avoid that he has suspicions, then we smoke a good joint, then we play UNO and then we kindly ask him handcuffs himself praying that he won't kill us. Wake up
I went to court once for a felony and got off with no record. I went again for a traffic violation and witnessed a black woman have the same first time offense as me and she was being threatened with 6months to a year in jail. The exact charge I had, I felt so ashamed
Being ashamed is fine, but not speaking up and doing anything about the double standards is worse! People like yourself are the only people who can bring about the changes needed. Black people are not just complaining or making things up! these are real-life situations for most of them!
You hear some people say “just comply with the police’ and that’s fair, however the key issue is the disrespect and hostility that black people receive at the outset of the police interaction that needs to stop.
You are so right. It's like they come in with attitude that they are going to dominate Blacks and they do everything in their power to make them feel small and diminished.
I understand that that's a problem, but the normal reaction to a shitty cop being disrespectful isn't to grab a knife. We all get shitty cops, whites included. It comes with dealing with authority figures. Some dickhead going out of his way to give you a ticket or even arrest you doesn't mean the solution is to die trying to shoot him, it's recording it and settling it in court later. The reality of the matter is that the usual story we get is "Cop shoots black man" that turns into "Well, the black guy stabbed four people and was trying to beat a fifth to death with his bare hands before being shot and this is why the police are racist"
@@johnnysupreme5718 ah yes, Elijah Mclain, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, George Floyd, Philando Castile, they were all mass murderers who grabbed knives when saw the cops.

The police shot him dead as they opened the car doors
@@EliEli-vf4yy I'm not saying it doesn't happen. 5 examples in a population of 330 million doesn't really prove a rule; especially when, in our current climate, most examples are instantly plastered on every TV screen in the country for a week straight. If there was really an epidemic of cops gunning for blacks, there'd be riots every day. Some of these aren't even good examples. Floyd was resisting arrest and then died of an overdose while someone was restraining him. Rice was an very unfortunate mistake, but some kid points a gun at you; how are you supposed to know the damn thing is fake? It's terrible what happened, but what was the cop supposed to do? Who gives a kid a toy gun and doesn't immediately teach him not to point it at people? Any cop on the planet would have shot him, he's pointing a fucking gun at you! The rest of them I know nothing about, which makes me think they were actually cases of police brutality; the Leftist media wants more conflict between cops and blacks and wouldn't report on actual brutality.
These videos are very lopsided in telling. This could happen to ANYONE. But suddenly it's about race. Nothing happened to the guy because he didn't resist or try to run. Those are the errors most people who get shot do. You heard the lady cop apologize. Cops are not robots. They don't get it right ALL the time. I'm sure it's happened before. And it will happen again. To ANY race. Just some people will use the race card for anything that is not going their way. Unfortunate. By the way, I'm a minority, and I've been pulled over a few times. NEVER have I been harassed. Give respect, you get respect.

That female officer had her hand on her gun as she was approaching the car, also, why not just check ID while he was in his car instead of cuffing him up and putting him in the back of the police car?

@@wendyweaver8749 be grateful they didn't do it the routine way. Usually they have 2 cop cars pull up and shout at the driver and passengers to hop out
As a white woman my experience has been similar. The officers are patient, sympathetic, courteous. I am never made to feel threatened. Being pulled over is never a pleasant interaction but it's done professionally and expediently. This should be the universal experience regardless of race/gender.
I was cussed out and screamed at over a minor speeding violation. It depends on the officer. 6 of those stops were not legit and 2 of the 6 the officers lied under oath in court. There are bad apples everywhere, just not the majority imho.
When I was in middle school my friend (I'll call her Stacy) and I used to walk home when we were done with our after school programs. She's white, I'm black. We used to split up halfway during our walk because she lived on a different road than me. But one time a dog chased her or barked at her, I really can't remember but she was terrified of the dog so she asked me to walk her home. I was scared of dogs too but hey I couldn't admit I was scared to a pretty girl so I walked her home. It became our thing, we'd walk together every day. Sometimes we'd hang out after school and chill at the park, ride around a skateboard (even tho I sucked), shoot around a basketball, just hang out with other people. Now that I'm thinking about it those were some of my purest memories. One day when I walked her home a cop pulled up next to us. He almost crashed into me and pulled cut right in front of me walking. He got out of the car holding onto his pistol in it's holster. Me and Stacy really didnt know how to react or what was going on. The cop told me I was under arrest. I asked for what and he told me to put my hands behind my back. I did and he yelled not to hide my hands and told me to turn around. I was so scared and confused I didn't know what to do. I guess I wasn't listening to his commands because whenever I did what he asked he would yell about what I was doing wrong. Stacy asked him what was going on and he said I fit the description for a break in a couple of roads over, supposedly i fit the description exactly, clothes, hair, everything, there was no doubt I was the suspect. Stacy kept yelling that she was with me all day and we just we walking home and that I didnt break into any house. The cop told her to leave and to stop "impeding on his investigation" if stacy would have walked home there my life would have been a lot different. The cop yelled some more commands that I cant remember, I guess I wasnt listening to his commands because I was shocked, scared and confused and really didnt understand what he was asking me The cop pulled his gun out and Stacy ran in front of me screaming and crying. A few other cops drove up and the next thing I know there were like 5 cops surrounding us. One of the other cops somehow calmed Stacy down and he ended up hand cuffing me. They put me in the back of the cop car and I saw them questioning Stacy. I didn't know what they were asking her but she was frantic and panicking. One of the cops questioned me "you sure you didnt break into a house? Did you accidentally walk into the wrong house? Maybe you just snuck in their back yard and looked around. I know you did something." After a while they let us go. We walked home mostly in silence. I asked Stacy what they were asking her and she shook her head and winced, she said "I don't want to talk about it." After that our friendship turned kind of weird. She just worried about me all the time and didn't want me to walk her home anymore. She forced me to take a cab a few time she gave me money and wouldnt let me give it back to pay for a cab. She was always freaking out on me for walking home without being in a group. I didn't know then but I know now that she was truamatized. She convinced me to stop doing after school programs so I could walk home in groups with everyone else after school. She told me she was getting her licence soon and offered to drive me to and from school every day from that point. I felt like a burden so I told her no thanks but I soon found out I was being more of a burden by not taking rides with her because she became so panicky and worried if I walked home alone. Thinking back I dont know what happened that made her react that way i think the cops said something to her that made her worry about me or something. Sorry for the long post I didnt think it would take this long.
I remember being in the car when a white friend was pulled over, ive never been in a car being pulled over, i dont drive for personal reasons, but when my friend was pulled over the officer walked to my window on the passenger side and asked for my ID, didnt get my friends info or tell us why we were pulled over. The officer came back gave me my ID back and said we could leave, even suggesting i just walk home. I was so confused and so was my friend saying he had never experienced that before, we were just headed home from getting sushi. Later my friend brought it up saying maybe the cop pulled us over just to check if i had a record. ive never committed a crime, but everytime ive come in contact with police, they are rude and never help, or seem to stop me for nothing....
@@madyella-Ge I agree. One of the other times i was being followed walking home from work, i lived very close to a police station, so instead of walking home, i walked to the police station and told them i was being followed, the white man following me even parked right outside the station, which i pointed out to the police. They literally told me they couldnt help me. i walked to a neighbors house instead so the guy wouldnt know where i lived and he followed me all the way there. We pay "Peace keepers" for what exactly?

The stats are higher for white and Latino men. And more police officers died in the line of duty than all groups combined.

And we only make up 13-15% of the population as a whole. There are more whites and Latinos than us. So of course those numbers are higher.

In college I had two white roommates, a black roommate and I'm Asian. We went to Daytona Beach for Spring Break. Got pulled over for going 10 over and I was driving. They came up to the window and asked me and my black roommate to step out and stand while my white roommates were allowed to stay inside the car. They questioned where we were going and if this was my car. After they ran my tag and ID they gave me a ticket. When we got back in the car I looked at my black roommate and asked him if he was ok and we both looked at each other teary eyed. My white roommates had no Idea what that stop meant to us. As we continued my white roommates asked what did they ask. We explained everything to them. It was a long convo and my white roommates saw for the first time what profiling was and the system we live in is not the same as theirs. We still keep in touch to this day because of that connection from that stop because it brought us closer.
It's crazy to me that in a horror movie, if the main character is black, the scariest part of the horror movie is when the police pull them over. Survive a chainsaw massacre or slender man shit, and when the police arrive is when you actually shit yourself.

If you did that to the wrong cop in America, zoo wee mama.

No you silly self made victim. It's called discrimination and its the best way we can make future decisions without telepathy. Get it? So anyone walking down the street might fit the criteria of a sought after criminal. And if a race itself so happens to meet the criteria most of the time you better hope the cops discriminate more towards such race in order to clean the streets for you faster because there's no other way. All we do is discriminate otherwise no one would be safe. Get your head out of the TV. It's programming you

It still DOESNT grant law enforcement the power to use deadly force. So would you like to take a few minutes to come up with an argument thats not utterly hilarious and laughable?
@@nick6834 they've been with almost every major law enforcement agency since 2010. Some departments can't even afford them because they have no funding.
As kids growing up we use to wave at cops, talk have fun & they'll give us a badge or some. Now kids hiding from them, don't even want eye contact or call them when it's a dispute going on. Smdh.
And the kids hiding from cops, acting suspicious, are just going to draw attention to themselves. Now the officer has reasonable suspicion they are involved in something illegal.
I know what you mean. My husband and every Black man I know have had bad experiences with cops and some of those times I was present. I have 3 Black boys and when they were little I would take them by cops to talk to them in friendly banter, we would buy cops donuts, etc. I wanted my Black boys to have a holistic perspective on cops because I knew "the talk" was coming. Well, all of that was shot to hell. With the constant streams of the murder of Black bodies in the hands of cops and their increased awareness due to social media of the glaring differences of treatment, as well as the fact that they have become steeped in research and activism since Trayvon Martin they have NO trust. Their lived experiences don't allow them to.
@@momof3sonsatl I have a 4 yr old son who can't talk & it worries me, well any parent of a black son. I think what if a cop attack my son when he's older cause he don't want to talk. Not knowing he has special needs & can't talk. That's y patience, communication & understanding means alot when approaching ppl.
Then there was the proliferation of cameras and the world started sharing and seeing the injustices which were just normally dismissed because a cop's word is taken as fact when it shouldn't be.
As a black man we are so traumatized by being pulled over. I once got pulled over and was so relieved that everything went smooth that I called the officer back over to the car and asked her if she wanted some Six Flags tickets that I had won and wasn't going to use.
As a neutral person from Europe, when you watch this video, this guy acted normal, didnt fight police, they said sorry. As soon she saw him acting normal, she was really nice, before he got out of car. But when you watch other videos, there is always someone fighting with cops. If you act normal and they do something to you, that is problem. When cop shoots at girl with knife trying to stab another girl, that's expected. Give respect, get respect.
@@nenadmitrovic3469 She had the gun out before even reaching him. That's already not ok. Cops will often make up excuses to stop non white people. Sometimes they're trigger happy and want any excuse to shoot a minority (because in America it's ok if you're a cop and/or a white supremacists). George Floyd didn't fight, didn't resist, he was still murdered for not having a fake $20 bill that a cashier thought was fake. That black girl with a knife though, that was justified, no argument there.
@@ShadowLynx777 she returned gun before getting him, when she saw his reacton, she returned gun and acted really friendly. Because the guy was acting normal. Who knows what the other guy had charges for, you had video last week guy using ar 15 to kill uncareful cop on traffic stop. We in Europe dont carry guns around, so no need for cops to pull guns all the time. Floyd did resist aresting, whole the time before getting on the ground, he was in back of cops car, at one time, but tried to get out and asked to be put on the ground. I dont talk about knee on neck. I talk only about resisting arest and fighting cops. I have been stoped by cops many times, sometimes twice in a day. And if i want to get out of the car while being stoped, I ask: is it ok if i get out, they say yes and it's ok.
@@nenadmitrovic3469 Look at the video, before putting him in he stops and puts him to the ground. American cops are mostly racist a holes. For every "good" cop there's 100 bad ones
He preemptively responded; although he knew he did nothing wrong. He didnt casually wait until they arrived, he put his hands outside the vehicle. His friend crumbled at the presence of the demanding officer. Everyone should receive mercy if all lives matter. Some just seem to matter more than others.
What choice did he have!!!! Try to have a conversation to ask why and then get shot!!!!!! That is not being calm that is the FEAR THEY HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING STILL AFTER 400 YEARS OF WHAT TWO FACE AMERICA HAS BEEN!!!!!
Yeah he did what the police asked him to do they found out they had the wrong guy and they let him go this is what you are supposed to do. This entire video is bullshit i have been pulled over and had the exact same thing cop came to the car with his gun drawn and he actually told me why on my license it said 6ft2 300lbs it also says i am white.
@@michaelglazewski4884 BS. People react differently to the same situation all the time. He could have kept his hands in the car as is his right. He could have questioned why he was being arrested again which I most certainly would have been doing and either one of those could have ended in his death. That’s so horrible. I’ve had a shouting match with a border patrol agent and was never once threatened. I was granted that leeway due to the color of my skin. Coincidentally we were arguing because I wasn’t carrying my daughter’s birth certificate! Because she is black and the other kids in the car were white, even though two of them were not mine. I say Border Patrol but it was outside of White Sands so we weren’t leaving the country just headed to the park. I asked him why didn’t he ask for the birth certificates for the rest of the children, especially since I wasn’t the mother to a couple of them. My daughter is now 20 and has been pulled over many times for sometimes no reason that they would give. Has had her car searched while on her way home from work and it took 4 police officers apparently. Obviously they found nothing and no reason given for pulling her over. I called the police station and they said there was no paperwork or anything showing she’d been pulled over. She has zero tickets. My white daughter has three and deserved every one of them. But her experiences are remarkably different! This needs to change! I’m tired of worrying that one of my children is in more danger just because she is a POC. 😡
@@carltonuzzell4729 I totally agree man! If God was involved, then how could someone explain how so many black men are brutally murdered by the hands of those who's job it is to protect them.
@@jdwhodey Because some of those people who are quote on quote "Angels" in your eyes have done something that police need to take action for it to not happen again.
Sad that the female officer didn't reply. This would've been the perfect opportunity to put another voice in this conversation that we don't get to often hear from.
She apologized to the man right after it happened. If she would have went on TV she would have been attacked and called a racist for making an honest mistake
Exactly. White people were so much more outraged at protests than at police brutality. And then you have these chuckleheads commenting "half of blm supporters are white!" as if that means shit.
The nicest police officer I have ever met threw me in jail for a marijuana blunt the size of my fingernail at the age of 16, Sometimes I worry for people who come face to face with the bad officers.
That logic is flawed my man. We don’t need to experience what happened to the Jews in WWII to give the justice. We don’t need to experience slavery to give them justice. See where I’m going?
I never thought much about getting pulled over. Sometimes I got tickets Sometimes I didn't. Until one day I got pulled over with a black friend in the passenger seat. It was the first time I was pulled out of the car and patted down. We were eventually free to go after being asked if we had drugs 100 times. Eye opener for me.
My brother used my name when he got arrested. He didn't show up for court, so the police came and arrested me off the jobsite. Lost my job, apartment and girlfriend because I was locked up for a week until I proved it wasn't me. We don't talk anymore.
I had a similar experience when i was walking down a street in my shorts and a cop car made me sit on the pavement because they were looking for. a guy who stole a lawn mower.. it was an humiliating moment and i was worried that someone from work might see me and think i was a criminal..then they let me go after 30 mins.
As someone who's native and dark brown skinned with a shaved head, I have been draw down on by officers several times over the years of my life. It sucks that every time I have an encounter with an officer, I have to make sure I turn on my dome light, keep my hands visible (on the steering wheel) and don't make any sudden movements.
IF we just stopped and remembered that we are all human with one chance at life ,and showed some empathy, a lot of us would find out we're not so different after all.

Wrong case of identity but what you just seen is called a "Felony stop". "While conducting a felony traffic stop, you will have your weapon in hand for most of the stop. You weapon will be pulled from your belt as soon as you have the offending vehicle stopped and are out of your own vehicle." Police did nothing wrong besides pulling over the wrong person.
My ex is white. She was driving one day while a white male police officer pulled her over vehicle’s taillight. I was sitting next to her. The white police officer approached her and started chitchatting with her as though they’re friends. The officer turned to me and asked me for my ID which of course I refused to provide. What’s staggering was their cordial interaction. The officer was so polite and nice to my ex that that episode still bothers up till today
As a mother of a Black Son who is in the military and have been stopped many times since the age of 16 years old for the type of car he was driving and always by white police officers. He worked all through high school and bought a used 740 Volvo with his earnings. One night I was following him home from a basketball game and the police went around me and pulled him over at a gas station and I also turned in as well. The officer asked my son how in the hell can you drive a car like this and is your dad a dope dealer? My son replied he work since he was 8 years old and saved for the car. I interjected and asked why was he pulled over and he said my son was speeding. I asked to get his supervisor. Once his supervisor arrived, he told him my son was driving in two lanes. When I told them both I was following my son and he just finished playing basketball and no my husband wasn't a dope dealer they let us leave with over 25 people was watching. He didn't give my son a ticket and two white parents from the same school chimed in on the situation. They were afraid. The next morning I went to my town mayor's office and we met with the police chief and the officer and once again the officer changed his reasoning while he stopped my son. He also told the mayor and the chief that he didn't think my son shouldn't be driving a Volvo! I feel more at peace with my son walking around The Middle East than I do with him walking in The United States of America!!
"I feel more at peace with my son walking around The Middle East than I do with him walking in The United States of America!!"-- Wow, those words really do paint exactly how Black people in the USA feel right now. You couldn't have captured it in a better sentence. Your words have resonated with me.
Vonn Blacker, I am with you. I've got two sons. The oldest had a "Sanford & Son" truck while he went to school. It was old and broke down frequently. When he graduated from college, he had three jobs and to celebrate, he bought a car I did NOT approve of. It was a bright red, Ford F150. He literally drove Off The Lot of the Car Dealership, got ONE MILE away and was harassed by a cop. From then on, for the next six months, he had to bake time into his schedule for being stopped all the time. He didn't ever speed, always uses turn signals, etc (drives like a little old lady). They would make up bogus reasons to stop him and ask why he was driving that truck. Finally, he couldn't take it any more and sold the truck. Meanwhile, my youngest when it was time for him to get a car, he specifically bought what he calls "a white soccer mom SUV." He hasn't been harassed the way his brother has. So *on top of everything else in life that Black People are forbidden from having just to avoid harassment by the people whose salaries are paid with our tax dollars, we can't even have a nice car.*
@Christopher Briscoe Unacceptable, yes, but this is the reality of being black in America. I just told a friend today that I wished I had moved to Germany when visiting with German friends there and they asked me to. I am 75 now, a black female Air Force veteran.
I'm not sure it is a training problem anymore. If they know how to treat some people while treating other people badly, this shows some sort of bias that is worse than just not knowing better.
@J W I will skip over the fact that you have already basically admitted that it is about bias. Correct me if I am wrong, but this man was not walking in a neighborhood when cops approached him with gun in hand thinking he was someone he looked nothing like. Maybe you would say the same as a white stranger walking into a predominantly African American, Hispanic, etc. neighborhood, but where are the videos of white people being constantly confronted by police for being in those neighborhoods? It also is not just about being in neighborhoods, because African Americans have been killed in their own homes by police for no justifiable reason.
I’m glad he stayed so calm. Cops can flip in an instant if they feel you’re not giving them the respect they think they deserve. I was pulled over after leaving a restaurant with my dad. I went through the light and it turned yellow. He pulled be over as soon as I made the turn. He came to the window and said “do you know why I’m pulling you over?” I said “no”. “Just admit what you did and I’ll let you go” the cop said. My dad looks at the cop and says “are you attempting to get him to admit to breaking a law he obviously did not?” Cop asks “who are you?”. “His attorney” my dad says. Cop says “don’t run any red lights. You’re free to go” my dad says “he never did. Bye”. It’s hard to have respect for police when you see such a huge majority of them carry themselves In such a smug and merciless way and commit crimes they jail others for.
I love being black and I wouldn't change my color for nothing but it's sad that being black could one day cause me my life mj said it best they dont really care about us
just don't break the laws (it apply to all races) and if you do, don't act like a crazy fool who ends up being in police activity channel. I am Asian and I do get stopped by police before for speeding and other minor offenses, but being honest, and make no excuse or worse resist goes further than acting up or passive-aggressive.
@@wyunaboy i saw a video of a white man with a gun in his lap in his car. Two cops had there guns drawn.

Even though virtually no asians supported the blm movement. As a black man ive had more racist encounters with asians than with whites. Just sayin
@@wyunaboy I have video evidence of someone antagonizing officers after being stopped and threatening to kill them, he was able to speed off while a cop clung to his vehicle. By all account he resisted arrest. Not only did hr get to live he got to flee the scene without being shot. He was white
I know that feeling, being the mother of a black man. I got pulled over for speeding 5miles over the limit. Cop gets out hand on gun and approached the passenger side where my teen son was instead of the drivers side. I was so afraid. They put a flashlight in my baby's face, which was so upsetting. Like damn, leave him out of this, give me my ticket and go on about your business.
Reminds me of that grandma who got pulled over with her Black grandson. They claimed he kidnapped her or some crazy bs...it's dangerous still in America for Black ppl. Racism still very much exists.
I recall being a teenager and casually sharing police experiences around some of my white friends and just being amazed at this "warning" they kept talking about. I got my first warning in my 30s (from a black officer).
The closest to a police officer even pulling me over was when the chief who I met recently stopped next to me and made a mildly funny joke about lucky charms (I was eating some out of a school breakfast thing) but it was just her being sociable Although i was in the car when my friend was doing 37 through a residential area in a car that stank of weed because of two passengers and he got a warning after being grilled about partying on halloween and leaving his gas cap open Tbh its kinda just insane
As she was telling her experience, I was almost on tears. She was given the benefit of the doubt and then some. My skin color is a threat as soon as I wake up.
@@fjones1914 what trips me out about that is that the only officer to face any consequences was because he DIDN'T shoot her. He shot into the neighbors residence by mistake. Damn that's a harsh way of supporting what the other officers did.
Im a 6'3" 240 lb. man. I had plenty of run-ins with the law and even went to jail when I was young. I used to do drugs; one time when I was high and acting erratic someone called the police on me. When the police arrived, I was not "detained", they didn't try some sort of restraining technique, and I wasn't even arrested. Even though I was clearly high, the police did not do anything to me. They just let me go about my day like nothing happened. I was even quite rude and just being a total high asshole. I'm pretty sure the police went back and yelled at the caller for wasting their time by calling the cops on a white guy. This was all a really long time ago. I cleaned up my act and am now a Father. But perhaps if I looked differently I would not have beem given that extra opportunity for a productive and meaningful life based on that one instance I described alone.
Black people get similar treatment to White people. The difference is that there are some bad cops out there. If we start generalizing that ALL cops are mean to black people I think that’s kind of an unfair assumption
@J W I spoke only about my personal experience. Sorry but anyone "with a brain" can see that there is a problem...but having said that I do understand that police officers have a difficult job and finding a solution will be difficult while also involving compromise by all sides

"It’s very sad 😢 disturbing and frustrating to see and hear this kind of situations again and again!" I'm sure it happens quite a bit, but this is the first time I've ever heard a national MSM outlet report on a black man being pulled over because he was framed by another black man.
I think it’s crazy how we live in the same country pay taxes to the same government but have dramatically different lived experiences.. I use to get upset when my white friends would try to invalidate what I was going through then I just realized they have no clue because they would tell me stories and I would wonder how they survived it.
Brainiac Bold, you are delusional if you think you have white friends. We (black people) have no friends. Read Dr Henrik Clarke and advise yourself b4 you get a rude awakening.

@@marie-floreddy667 the fact that his so called friends was busy speaking but not listening is what makes them not friends.

This is a copping mechanism rather then them feeling guilty often for something they haven’t done personally..but not an excuse . The last few years have changed a lot of that.

I've only been pulled over twice, both times I was speeding at night with friends, both times the cops acted totally respectful. Never raised their voices or made any threats or movements towards weapons, and gave us time to find papers despite being alone themselves. This is Canada though, mounties have like 3 years of training.
the training you describe is standard in most of the civilized world. It's a bachelor's degree and you need to pass an psychology test as well as a physical one to get in.
I had a similar experience. On my wedding day, June 4, 1994, I was pulled over. I was on the way to the church. A Hispanic policeman told me to get out of the car. He put me in the back of his car. I had no tickets nor a warrant. He told me if I could hop on one foot and get to my car b4 he counted to 10, I could get married that day. I did it. Then sat in my car for a while crying.
@Don Andretti ...that's exactly my point, you walnut. The tendency towards racism has a root. Please do some research on the colonization of the Spaniards in the Americas before you make comments like this.

@that guy yt people get to run from the cops then try to stab them then run again for having a warrant and then have the cop pull out a taser instead of a gun
Yes, it would have been better if both people had warrants out on them to see if the cops actually treat two people differently in the same situation because of their skin color. Cops are always going to be wary when dealing with someone they believe have a felony warrant.
@@cursade-lif2897 right and it wasn't even the right guy . people wanna say well he had a felony and its like no actually he didn't because he wasn't even the correct guy . she just felt like black man let me pull my gun out as I approach at least confirm that its the felon your looking for first . don't just walk up gun in hand its like your preparing to shoot without even knowing how the situation is gonna turn out. at least make sure you got the right guy first . Imagine this innocent dude see a cop walk up with their gun in their hand no warrants and never been arrested and this is what he has to experience being treated like a criminal.
The reality where I live is that speeding is simply not enforced except in Black areas. Our main streets are six Lane highways with a median and a 45 mph limit. You can go 60 all day long and you will never have a problem. Driving to a black neighborhood and do 35 in a 30 zone and it's a question of time before you are stopped. I work for the school district and the staff at schools in black neighborhoods always warn you to obey the speed limits unless you want to be ticketed.
Lying in our face: we can see he is arrested. We can hear her (it’s the wrong guy) and she reports: speeding. And her boss reading the report is having a big red nose, long curly white hair and a funny hat. End of the story.
Notice that she immediately says his name when she approached his car with her gun drawn. Informing him that he has a felony warrant looming over him. Yet when they figure out that he is NOT the guy and release him......they state he was stopped for SPEEDING! Let THAT marinate......!
@Mike Hunt So, when I see news stories showing white people being pulled over for speeding and the officer approaches the vehicle with her gun drawn, then it's the same.
Interesting how she drew the gun as a starting point then after realizing her mistake said 'Shoot'. It's like 'shoot' is the first thought for many. I'm so grateful that she chose not to shoot. Thank you both. You are both clearly very beautiful people full of love and caring. Shine on.
Interesting observation. "Shoot" is used as a cute, funny and innocent replacement word, and these qualities ricochet onto the person using the word. Very ironic in this situation.
interesting that CNN edited out the initial contact where police got the drivers ID returned to their cop car a ran this man for warrants, instead showing only the cops desision on how to deal with a person that they just got a hit for a a outstanding warrant.
Have you thought about emigrating from the US? I think countries like Ghana, China, South Korea, or Japan would be a much better place to live as a black person than in the US.

Lol I was looking at all of these comments thinking...so no one is gonna mention how handsome this young man is! As a mother of 4 young men myself... this sick demonic reality keeps me praying for them. Praise God he walked away from this!
Not surprised no response was received from the officer. She gets to casually go on her way, living her life, while this young man was humiliated, traumatized, demeaned and stripped of dignity for no reason other than utter incompetence. Loved how the officer casually said "this may be the wrong guy." A simple "I'm sorry" doesn't erase his experience. Sad and Pathetic!
I was put into handcuffs in my own backyard because a random person called and said I was yelling then those handcuffs were put behind my back at the station and then elevated to just under my shoulders and the chain was locked to a hook in the wall in booking where they left me for 2.5 hours. I sneezed and lack of mobility caused my shoulder to separate and to this day almost 2 decades later I still have pain. My point is the mental trauma isn't the only thing. I have a painful reminder along with ptsd from other offenses against me that hit me in one way or another everyday. People who watch tv or yt videos think they understand what this does and how it shapes your future experiences....but don't.

@J W to get the orange man out of office. At least we got down to what this is really about. You’re still mad the orange man ain’t in office anymore. He did that to himself 😂😂😂😂
I got pulled over on my way to a conference for failure to signal. When the cop asked me why I believed he'd stopped me that morning, I told him flat out "Because it's the end of the month" and his entire demeanor changed from that moment forward. He was so pissed he purposely gave me a warning just to make a point that he hadn't just pulled me over for his quota. Even though it was the end of the month and I think he was just embarrassed he'd been called out on it.
I once failed to change lanes on the highway when a cop had been on the side of the road with flashing lights. I hadn't even known about that rule in my state. Hours later, after I had stopped for lunch, the cop pulled me over much further down the highway. I have to think that he had just been parked on the side of the road flashing his lights (maybe after pulling someone else over) and writing down license plates, and then drove along hunting the cars on his list. Predatory policing at its most banal. At the time, I made the mistake of admitting it and got a ticket. Now thinking back, I should have denied it, forcing him to come up with whatever evidence he had, move on, or issue the ticket without evidence.
I remember about 16 years ago my husband and I were pulled over coming from my mom’s house. I was 20 and he was 23 and our son had to only be a few months old. We were just minding our business, not speeding or anything. A cop pulls us over and walks to the car and asks for the usual license, registration etc. Then he says they got several calls saying that we were driving crazy and running ppl off the road and tryna hit ppl. We looked at him like he was crazy because we literally had a newborn baby in the backseat and we’re just tryna get home. I was like nawl that’s a lie, we don’t know what you’re talking about. He just walks off with my husband’s info and comes back about 10 minutes later and hands him back his stuff and says you’re free to go. I asked him but what about the running ppl off the road and trying hit ppl? He just looked at me and walked off. We looked at each other and let out the proverbial breath that we were holding and drove home in silence, because we knew that nobody called in and nobody reported anything. He just saw a black couple in a nice car and decided to pull us over.
This is racial profiling, and they have even become more creative by now stopping black people for having air fresheners hanging on mirrors and just using any excuse.

And the "lie" where he was speeding - meanwhile the white friend got to have a breakdown and attitude and time to wait in her car. you can't be that dumb; research PHILANDO CASTILE, or the army lt. gas station from December 2020.
I was in the passenger seat of my college roommates car when we were pulled over one night (two black college-aged females). Her registration had expired and they were going to tow her car. We had just left the local library and our books were in the back seat. We literally had to beg the white officer to let us get our books out of the car. We then asked him to give us a ride as we were literally on the side of the elevated expressway/highway. He told us "I would leave you here on the side of the road where you belong, but I would get in trouble." He then dropped us off at the bottom of the nearest exit ramp, in the middle of the street. Wouldn't even pull into the parking lot to let us out. I will never forget this experience. It saddens me to this day that that man was unable to see us as humans but only by the color of our skin.
Wow, thanks everyone! I truly enjoyed reading all of the different experiences. ☺ Here's what I learned from them...Never judge a book by its cover! I've read so many different experiences and it's sad to say that SKIN COLOR is the only variable that changesd the outcome of those experiences! There's a saying that "Time brings about a change!" This is so very true, but unfortunately for people of color, the only thing that changes is technology and modern-day tactics of oppression while time repeats itself completing a full 360⁰. Yes, a true change will come, but not under the rulership of man!
As a white female with minorities in my family this breaks my heart. I've always been afraid for my brothers safety and seen first hand how awful they treat him compared to me. I walked into a court for a traffic violation, the court officers told me when I walked in. Just smile, u will be fine. Although that benefitted my immediate situation it made me sick to my stomach to see how unfair their treatment of ppl was
@Odin Borsson exactly. They likely meant in general just have a nice demeanor, I’m sure that helps rather than going into court with a face that’s filled with attitude, but some people look for something that they consider privilege to be doled out to them.
Been through a cop arresting him because he had a warrant, they were polite and checked the details of the warrant and released him in the field with an apology and a perfectly good explanation for what happened.

Actually with drones equipped with cameras all we need is cameras catching violations like speeding, running a red light, rolling a stop sign, broken tail lights etc and then drones photographing who is at the wheel. Frankly, there should be a feature where a driver as to identify him/herself as the driver, maybe insert the driver license card (in the future equipped with a smart chip). This identifies who is driving at the time of any such camera caught violation. There should be a notice sent via mail and email and to the driver's DMV record. The driver should be given 60 days to file any kind of defense for the noticed violation. A magistrate should rule on the evidence presented insofar as any alleged violation and determine guilt or insufficient evidence. Where guilt is determined, judge sets the fine. The fine should be subject to appeal based on financial hardship etc. All this can be virtual and NO cops need to directly interact with a driver for minor traffic offenses. In the future, the cars along with a port for smart chip enabled driver license should also have a DUI prevention feature where the driver's BAC is internally monitored via grips on the steering wheel and breath analyzer also installed in the steering wheel. The car will not start a driver registered a BAC above a certain threshold and if the threshold is exceeded while a person drives, the car be equipped with an auto park feature where it automatically reduces speed, and using GPS exits the road at the nearest parking lot or gas station and shuts off. Where a car is off the road and the vehicle is off, the driver is actually safe from being cited and prosecuted for a DUI offense. Insurance rates for cars with these features will be offered at greatly reduced rates so that driver safety is encouraged by financial incentives. THIS can be accomplished. By doing this, cops can focus their efforts on active crimes where there is high likelihood of violence and harm to others. But expired tags, busted tail lights, 10 MPH above speed limit, rolling a stop sign stuff like that shouldn't involve direct driver/officer interaction. This can be accomplished with roadside cameras and camera equipped drones.
@energizedbones It's not just about racism. That's what people don't understand. It's about profiling and expectations that the officers have. They may not be racist, but the act of treating black people as criminals because they expect them to be criminals is racist. I always thought that it didn't happen often then I saw my own father get tense at the wheel around officers; a teacher, a church elder, who has never committed a crime in his life. Officers treat black people differently, that's the problem. Not just racism.
@@MENACE-km6bd Part of what you don't understand is that the police treat almost everyone like criminals. When you're a hammer the whole world looks like nails. They are trained to assume anyone they interact with is a potential threat or could be committing a crime. They stop and detain folks (of all colours) without reasonable, articulable suspicion of a crime constantly under the guise of "suspicion". According to the Bureau of Justice in 2018 (the most recent data set) there were 61,500,000 police interactions. Of those the police initiated contact rate for whites was 12% and for blacks 11%. These numbers show no significant disparity due to race.
@@ClockworkWyrm Here's what I DO understand: The 68 year old gray-haired woman, a librarian, didn't hear the lights and siren behind her. 3 cops pulled her over and dragged her out of the car by her hair, threw her on the ground, pulled guns on her, tore a muscle in her shoulder, put a knee in her back and handcuffed her. You want to tell me a little old White woman would have had anything like that happen to her on a traffic stop? No??
*I noticed an even more interesting difference here* He remembered his quick and clear. Im pretty confident in my guess that it's because of his high stress level during that situation and being hyper aware at the time. Her on the other hand, had to struggle a little bit to recall the details. She may have been stressed but I doubt she even felt like her life might be at risk.
This is why they made the video, she said she didn't fear for her life like he did. The cops didn't pull out there guns they just let us sit in the car while they check on everything, then come back to the window and give us a ticket or let us go on.
It's a dumb comparison tho cause hers is a basic traffic stop, all cops will go back to their car while they process your info. Only times they won't is if they have a warrant and suspect you of being a suspect, like what happened to the dude.
@@stopthecap4317 they came out of their car with guns drawn, they don't do that to white people. I got picked up on a outstanding warrant that I didn't even know I had. They took me to just get it straightened out when I have time.
As a white man, I've been pulled over quite a few times when I was younger, I've never feared for my life. I've never had a gun pointed at me. The worst thing that has ever happened is the officer yelled at me to stop being a dumbass, which I deserved. Crazy how things are so different based off of skin color.
The worst I've ever been treated by a cop was being told to not J-walk. In a parking lot. The parking lot of my residence. My residence being a college dorm. Maybe they get bored and decide to spice things up every once in a while?
@@mickeytollison i feel like a non-gun person and gun people have different definitions of "pointing a gun at someone". Most non-gun people I think would define it as having an unholstered weapon facing you, while a gun person would define it as having the gun aimed at center-mass.

@@traceytracey3756 I get what you're saying but shouldn't it be based on the type of felony? A person can have a felony and not be violent or pose a risk to the officer. By having the mentality that "I see a felony warrant so I must draw my gun", is not the right answer and leaves room for mistakes on both parts.
@@ricardohaynes4339 I cannot say for sure if the type of felony should make a difference. I simply don't know what considerations go into making that call. I would only be assuming, that because there can be tens or perhaps hundreds of types of felonies, it would be impossible to have that many procedural directives. That's just my guess.
Such a great example of a distinguished black gentleman, I'm proud of how he handled himself and hopefully others will see that we should be treated with respect and care.
To those saying he didn't get hurt because he was compliant, so was Philando Castile. He had no warrants, was polite and completely cooperative, and still never made it home.
He was not compliant according to the defense. He said he had a gun and was told as we heard on the audio to not reach for it and the officer claimed to fire fearing he was reaching for a gun.
Should the officer have been better at his job? Yes. Should Castile have died? No. Shoudk there have been some recourse legally? Perhaps. But don't spin the narrative.
Instead of focusing on thr 99.99% of traffic stops of black men resulting in no death or arrest you spotlight one in particular and lie about the circumstances. Shame on you. You aren't helping.
What body camera footage did you watch? I saw a man who didn't put his hands up for 4 whole seconds while being asked too. That's not being compliant.
He was also doing exactly what that officer demanded, he told him to get his wallet or id (I don’t recall the exact word used)
Right. And not everyone can be as composed as him. His friend just told her story and even she broke down during her interaction with police! It must take far less to make people of color have a crisis in this kind of situation, which can make you unable to comply. Officers are trained to recognize a person in crisis.

What was the warrant for? He was being mistaken and investigated for someone who obviously poses a threat. You should be afraid of the guy he was mistaken for. You know... the one with the warrant that merits a high risk takedown.
There was a warrant for the guys arrest, of course the gun is going to gun out to protect the officer. The man complies, is respectful and the officers realizes the criminal actually used this mans name instead of his. They figure the situation out and apologize to the man and everyone goes home safely, great work all around
@@JJ-xy8ry and then they lied about being him being pulled over for speeding and another person using his name. Great work all around.
It's unfortunate that this happened but you have to put yourself in the cop's shoes here. They believe that they are pulling over a dangerous armed felon. It turns out to be a case of mistaken identity. the guy getting pulled over here is just as much a victim of fraud. Of course, in a perfect world, this wouldn't have happened. But we don't live in a perfect world. The dude did everything right to make sure he walked away. My dad always has said to me repeatedly while growing up and even now as an adult, the best thing to do is effectively communicate. That's 95% of what a law enforcement officer is looking for.
I praise this guy honestly. He communicated that he wasn't a threat and that he was also communicating I'm going to live to see another day. Turns out it was a mistake and it's terrible that this kind of thing happens, but he made a conscious decision to return home in that encounter.
I 100% am all for police accountability but when the public crosses the line the police gotta do what they gotta do. Put yourself in a position to be successful and then you won't even have to worry about it 99.99% of the time.
And don't say "what about the 0.01%". In that 0.01%, you could also get shot by a psychopathic gangster, or a drunken asshole could hit you with his car. You can't live life according to the 0.01% anyway so why worry about it. This is a good example of a guy who was being fearful effectively communicating with law enforcement and thus producing a great outcome.
I once had a warrant I didn't know about for failure to appear on a traffic ticket I had forgotten. I got pulled over for a headlight and the officer let me off with a " Get the headlight fixed and check in with the court to reschedule that court appearance, have a good night." A couple months later my sister got a flat on the highway, I was with her, and the only person who stopped to help us was a black guy. When a cop did show up finally, we were all leaning against the car taking selfies while we waited for a tow truck. The absolute stink eye this poor guy got from the cop was beyond asinine. We had made a new friend over the anime Tshirt he wore because we liked the same anime and this cop acted like he was concerned the guy might be "bothering" us.
Epilogue: 3 yrs later we're still friends with anime guy.
Anime guy sounds cool. Tell him I said hello.
Just think how that wears down a human being treated like that since 10, 11, 13 years old .
And then how at 19 or 20 years old you may have a F the Police attitude to where you may not instantly follow a "command" or you may run away or resist... Or run back to your car because your afraid...RIP DW
Im sure it would have been different if you had a warrant for some violent crimw
Do you remember the anime that was on his shirt?
I bet it was not a felony warrant.
Y'all do know that them saying that they initially pulled him over for speeding is just them saving face, right?

When I had to tell him I'd just gotten my inspection and needed to reach behind the seat for my purse, so I could get my new registration out of my wallet, he wasn't cool with that at all. I am a 5'6, 125lb woman, and this lardass, 6'1 275lb male wouldn't let me reach back. So I told him "Fine, sir, I am moving my left hand to unlock my back doors. Please open my back driver's side door and retrieve my purse for me. Inside you will find my wallet, which you had NO ISSUE with me retrieving when you thought I was WHITE. Please open it and retrieve my registration since a big man such as yourself is so scared of a woman that's half your size."

@@abdikadir7511 You're suggesting that African Americans are shot because of their skin color, and not because of their actions? There's multiple, MULTIPLE instances of white people being shot by trigger-happy cops. Look up "Daniel Shaver shooting."

Do this, and I'll stand right alongside you condemning that officer's actions. But, to just assume that simply reaching for a backpack will get you shot by police is absurd. I got pulled over by a state trooper in Vermont doing 83 in a 55mph zone. I didn't even get a ticket. Why? I was cool with the cop. I didn't scream "Fuck the police," in his face. I didn't initiate a high speed chase. You'd be surprised how cops are pretty mellow most of the time if you give them respect. I'm not white, either.
Up close and personal. More cameras. More exposure. More accountability. "Mistakes" can kill.
It was a tazer, I swear, I swear
Mistakes don't kill, resisting an arrest can. People think that policing is easy, the reality is that policing is hard, because if you pull over someone, you can be killed before you extract your gun.
In this case the man was pulled over not because he is black, or because they wanted to kill him, but only because he was speeding and after mistaken for someone that he wasn't. Maybe the guy that they had the warrant for..in the past has killed different people, maybe he was arrested for illegal possession of a firearm, maybe he shot to some police officer in the past.
Policing is not easy, and people need to understand that. I was pulled over in the past, for "speeding" and i tried to make stupid things and i almost got shot, and not cause i'm black, but because i made stupid choises. Ps..the officer thought that i was reaching for a gun, and if he had shoot me, well, that would me my fault.
There was a warrant of a criminal with long history of crimes, but that also the wrong person. If someone is holding the gun and not pointing at you, not a problem, but the real problem comes out when the gun is pointed.
He is "crying" on himself, but this is how it works, both for whites and for us blacks. if we want to be honest, the cops avoid bullshitting blacks because they know they can be accused of racism, even if what they are doing is just following the training.
This video is bullshit.
@@YorickUnexpected you are delusional
@@YorickUnexpected The excuse in your first paragraph is absolutely disgusting as you’re excusing police that decide it’s okay to have their firearms out 24/7 and be trigger happy simply because “I could be killed before I take out mine.” That is SO STUPID.

The unsuspecting, INNOCENT, UNARMED civilian or the trigger happy cop who actually had a head start because he pulled out his gun before he even opened his car door 😀👍🏾
Secondly, if the cops TRULY pulled over the man for speeding, why did they not TELL HIM THIS after they realized it was the wrong guy? Hm? Why did they not give him a ticket for speeding? Oh I know why! Because they used the speeding excuse as a way to save face. In that video, they didn’t tell him he was being pulled over for speeding before or after they asked him to step out of his vehicle or the police car.
“Maybe the guy they had a warrant for did this, maybe he did that” Yeah well maybe police should double check who the REAL suspect is before placing bets on what the felony charge was for. How about that?
You do realize that cops are not judge, jury and executioner right? You do realize that their job is not to shoot and kill people as they please right?
What were you ACTUALLY reaching for? Enlighten us.

I understand that that's a problem, but the normal reaction to a shitty cop being disrespectful isn't to grab a knife.
We all get shitty cops, whites included. It comes with dealing with authority figures. Some dickhead going out of his way to give you a ticket or even arrest you doesn't mean the solution is to die trying to shoot him, it's recording it and settling it in court later.

When I was in middle school my friend (I'll call her Stacy) and I used to walk home when we were done with our after school programs. She's white, I'm black. We used to split up halfway during our walk because she lived on a different road than me. But one time a dog chased her or barked at her, I really can't remember but she was terrified of the dog so she asked me to walk her home. I was scared of dogs too but hey I couldn't admit I was scared to a pretty girl so I walked her home. It became our thing, we'd walk together every day. Sometimes we'd hang out after school and chill at the park, ride around a skateboard (even tho I sucked), shoot around a basketball, just hang out with other people. Now that I'm thinking about it those were some of my purest memories. One day when I walked her home a cop pulled up next to us. He almost crashed into me and pulled cut right in front of me walking. He got out of the car holding onto his pistol in it's holster. Me and Stacy really didnt know how to react or what was going on. The cop told me I was under arrest. I asked for what and he told me to put my hands behind my back. I did and he yelled not to hide my hands and told me to turn around. I was so scared and confused I didn't know what to do. I guess I wasn't listening to his commands because whenever I did what he asked he would yell about what I was doing wrong. Stacy asked him what was going on and he said I fit the description for a break in a couple of roads over, supposedly i fit the description exactly, clothes, hair, everything, there was no doubt I was the suspect. Stacy kept yelling that she was with me all day and we just we walking home and that I didnt break into any house. The cop told her to leave and to stop "impeding on his investigation" if stacy would have walked home there my life would have been a lot different. The cop yelled some more commands that I cant remember, I guess I wasnt listening to his commands because I was shocked, scared and confused and really didnt understand what he was asking me The cop pulled his gun out and Stacy ran in front of me screaming and crying. A few other cops drove up and the next thing I know there were like 5 cops surrounding us. One of the other cops somehow calmed Stacy down and he ended up hand cuffing me. They put me in the back of the cop car and I saw them questioning Stacy. I didn't know what they were asking her but she was frantic and panicking. One of the cops questioned me "you sure you didnt break into a house? Did you accidentally walk into the wrong house? Maybe you just snuck in their back yard and looked around. I know you did something." After a while they let us go. We walked home mostly in silence. I asked Stacy what they were asking her and she shook her head and winced, she said "I don't want to talk about it." After that our friendship turned kind of weird. She just worried about me all the time and didn't want me to walk her home anymore. She forced me to take a cab a few time she gave me money and wouldnt let me give it back to pay for a cab. She was always freaking out on me for walking home without being in a group. I didn't know then but I know now that she was truamatized. She convinced me to stop doing after school programs so I could walk home in groups with everyone else after school. She told me she was getting her licence soon and offered to drive me to and from school every day from that point. I felt like a burden so I told her no thanks but I soon found out I was being more of a burden by not taking rides with her because she became so panicky and worried if I walked home alone. Thinking back I dont know what happened that made her react that way i think the cops said something to her that made her worry about me or something. Sorry for the long post I didnt think it would take this long.
This isn’t even fictitious, it’s reality.
Damn, glad you made it.
Were u ever b able to find what they said to her
😢
You are still traumatized
I’m so sorry brother. Glad you got to go home safe.
I remember being in the car when a white friend was pulled over, ive never been in a car being pulled over, i dont drive for personal reasons, but when my friend was pulled over the officer walked to my window on the passenger side and asked for my ID, didnt get my friends info or tell us why we were pulled over. The officer came back gave me my ID back and said we could leave, even suggesting i just walk home. I was so confused and so was my friend saying he had never experienced that before, we were just headed home from getting sushi. Later my friend brought it up saying maybe the cop pulled us over just to check if i had a record. ive never committed a crime, but everytime ive come in contact with police, they are rude and never help, or seem to stop me for nothing....
What a shame.... They are not living up to the oath that they take. Protect and serve who?
Your Still Confused!
@@januaryr.7080 You're*
@@madyella-Ge I agree. One of the other times i was being followed walking home from work, i lived very close to a police station, so instead of walking home, i walked to the police station and told them i was being followed, the white man following me even parked right outside the station, which i pointed out to the police. They literally told me they couldnt help me. i walked to a neighbors house instead so the guy wouldnt know where i lived and he followed me all the way there. We pay "Peace keepers" for what exactly?
NO BECAUSE HIS FEAR FACTOR A BLACK PERSON WAS IN YOUR CAR IT TAUGHT YOU WAS IN DANGER KMDT
As a man of color who is a single father who raises his own single son I am terrified of the police...... it's hard to wake up everyday and see another child the same age as yours dead by a cop over and over and over..... there is a breaking point with all men regardless of color and this clearly shows..... the police may say they're trying but at the end of the day we have not yet seen any results to be redeemed worthy of this words.... trying....
The statistics and data doesn’t support the narrative the “news” is trying to make us believe. In 2019, 52 black men were killed in police custody. Of those 52, only 3 were unarmed. The stats are higher for white and Latino men. And more police officers died in the line of duty than all groups combined.
Well as another man of color you really shouldn’t just don’t resist arrest abs always follow a cops orders wether you like it or not and also don’t commit crimes in the first place
Sad your son is being raised by a racist fool
What is a "man of color", what does that even mean?
@@rod1514 stop trying to diminish the fact that black ppl are killed at a higher rate when unarmed by police. From 2013-19 there where 1000 ppl killed by police officers , a third of that are black men, and 17% where unarmed and we have a larger share that is killed unarmed than any other racial group by 13% , that’s 1.3 times more. And we only make up 13-15% of the population as a whole. There are more whites and Latinos than us. So of course those numbers are higher. And lastly if your white you never have to worry about dying when you have interactions with the police if you done nothing wrong right. I dnt have to do anything wrong and I can die because I’m AUTOMATICALLY perceived as a threat. Check ya self bruh
In college I had two white roommates, a black roommate and I'm Asian. We went to Daytona Beach for Spring Break. Got pulled over for going 10 over and I was driving. They came up to the window and asked me and my black roommate to step out and stand while my white roommates were allowed to stay inside the car. They questioned where we were going and if this was my car. After they ran my tag and ID they gave me a ticket. When we got back in the car I looked at my black roommate and asked him if he was ok and we both looked at each other teary eyed. My white roommates had no Idea what that stop meant to us. As we continued my white roommates asked what did they ask. We explained everything to them. It was a long convo and my white roommates saw for the first time what profiling was and the system we live in is not the same as theirs. We still keep in touch to this day because of that connection from that stop because it brought us closer.

It's crazy to me that in a horror movie, if the main character is black, the scariest part of the horror movie is when the police pull them over. Survive a chainsaw massacre or slender man shit, and when the police arrive is when you actually shit yourself. Glad that most police in UK don't have guns, so you can get away with declining a search and telling them to arrest you if they want to charge you with something. If you did that to the wrong cop in America, zoo wee mama.
How was that particular instance profiling if you were actually breaking the law?
@@adirondackchicken Cops ask people to step out of the car for speeding? Also why ask the black passenger to step out but not the white ones?
@@ElleBrielle you know why. They automatically assumed the black people were bad and the white people were good.

My son's white friends can attest to this. They were treated badly simply for having black friends.

I just don't understand why her gun was even out of the holster. Like why are we not even given a chance? Just automatically demonized. A better day will come. We just have to keep shining the light on the hate and having more in depth conversations.

she had her gun out because it was a felony traffic stop. Granted this man wasn't the one, but he did share the same name. I think this cop handled it pretty good compared to others.
a felony warrant would have me nervous as well. i would not pull my gun but my hand would be on the butt of it until i saw hands.
Its always ignorant civilians like you who know nothing about the law. Yall lucky it wasn't 2 patrol cars there where they Shout commands at you. It's a *FELONY TRAFFIC STOP*.
Because your skin is the threat. Not your behaviour. You are at sight guilty of something. We can prove you aren't later. They cld have walked up to tht guy and asked just for his license and they wld have seen it isn't him. But he was guilty first like all Teds' are treated since Bundy was a criminal.
@@harlansanders7938 She couldn't have known there was a felony warrant in his name until AFTER she obtained his information. Yet she pulled her gun before she even approached him.

Of how to deal with the police. Comply don’t die, sort it out in the police car or in the courts. Don’t resist arrest and try to flee. Don’t argue or be belligerent. Be respectful to the police, it’s the most scrutinized and dangerous job on earth.
I was 17 went I was acussed of robbing a bank two towns over, a cop car followed me as I left to get medicine for my grandfather from the next moment I left my block zig zagging each street for about 10 blocks, at that time I was young so I usually would run the entire way but once I saw that I walked for 8 blocks straight, finally I reach the last block and cross over to start the final block to CVS and then the entire street was flooded with cop cars, they asked me to put my hands up and at this point I was so used to seeing this happen I already was on the ground with my hands up on my knees about to lay down and they cuffed me and put me in the back of the car, I asked what's happening they told me I fit the description of a bank that was robbed in Eastpointe, I lived in Detroit in the middle of 7 Mile and 8 Mile at that time, they said wait here we're bringing a witness down, I was in the car SMH because I knew I didn't do anything ever, the witness shows up about 16 mins later and they pull me out and I was literally saved by a Tom Cruise clone that day who just shaked his head "No"!
After that they said I was free to go and I still had to go and get my grandfather's medicine and then walk back home, it's something I brushed off as life back then but now I realize that it was racism because they was so sure that they were about to shoot me over it at 17 in my own city two cities away, could've died that day and nobody would've cared SMH
Im white same thing happened to me guns were drawn on me. Everything turned out ok.After thinking about it for several years I realize I respect police and they have the hardest job in the world.
I'm sure all the officers involved appreciate your quick compliance, allowing them to get back to catching the real criminals.
No you silly self made victim. It's called discrimination and its the best way we can make future decisions without telepathy. Get it? So anyone walking down the street might fit the criteria of a sought after criminal. And if a race itself so happens to meet the criteria most of the time you better hope the cops discriminate more towards such race in order to clean the streets for you faster because there's no other way. All we do is discriminate otherwise no one would be safe. Get your head out of the TV. It's programming you

They did check all of that. They pulled him over just in case he would resist. Even if they dont get the guy they got the guy.
What happened when Kyle Rittenhouse killed two people and wounded a third? The cops treated him like a brother, and now they are donating money to him. I wonder why that is?
Also, The Oath Keepers, a group that had members at the January 06th insurrection receives training from active law enforcement officers. Why is that?
The stop should have happened weeks earlier at the persons house, work, bank , gas company Walmart. His assets frozen as soon as his case went to warrant. They do these measures to deadbeat dads, why not other far more dangerous people? Ans=WAY too much work for the Police. Instead just cruse around for 20 years and get your retirement nice and safe like. Stops like this are done by Cops who still thin they matter and are "helping the community".

That should be a problem to walk up to any car with a gun out as your introduction. That’s wild Wild West bs training.

@Black Lies Matter no......actually minorities cry foul play when police are caught on camera committing crimes and use qualified immunity to escape accountability for said crimes.
Minorities also cry foul play when deadly force and escalation is used on unarmed and non violent suspects. Accountability goes both ways, its not just some standard to use against black people that police don't have to live up to.
@Black Lies Matter lets say(For the sake of your weak ass argument) that every single black person on the planet decided they would "resist arrest"..........guess what?

And the kids hiding from cops, acting suspicious, are just going to draw attention to themselves. Now the officer has reasonable suspicion they are involved in something illegal.
I know what you mean. My husband and every Black man I know have had bad experiences with cops and some of those times I was present. I have 3 Black boys and when they were little I would take them by cops to talk to them in friendly banter, we would buy cops donuts, etc. I wanted my Black boys to have a holistic perspective on cops because I knew "the talk" was coming. Well, all of that was shot to hell. With the constant streams of the murder of Black bodies in the hands of cops and their increased awareness due to social media of the glaring differences of treatment, as well as the fact that they have become steeped in research and activism since Trayvon Martin they have NO trust. Their lived experiences don't allow them to.

As a black man we are so traumatized by being pulled over. I once got pulled over and was so relieved that everything went smooth that I called the officer back over to the car and asked her if she wanted some Six Flags tickets that I had won and wasn't going to use.
As a neutral person from Europe, when you watch this video, this guy acted normal, didnt fight police, they said sorry. As soon she saw him acting normal, she was really nice, before he got out of car. But when you watch other videos, there is always someone fighting with cops.

I’ve had a shouting match with a border patrol agent and was never once threatened. I was granted that leeway due to the color of my skin. Coincidentally we were arguing because I wasn’t carrying my daughter’s birth certificate! Because she is black and the other kids in the car were white, even though two of them were not mine. I say Border Patrol but it was outside of White Sands so we weren’t leaving the country just headed to the park. I asked him why didn’t he ask for the birth certificates for the rest of the children, especially since I wasn’t the mother to a couple of them.
My daughter is now 20 and has been pulled over many times for sometimes no reason that they would give. Has had her car searched while on her way home from work and it took 4 police officers apparently. Obviously they found nothing and no reason given for pulling her over. I called the police station and they said there was no paperwork or anything showing she’d been pulled over. She has zero tickets. My white daughter has three and deserved every one of them. But her experiences are remarkably different! This needs to change! I’m tired of worrying that one of my children is in more danger just because she is a POC. 😡

As a mother of a Black Son who is in the military and have been stopped many times since the age of 16 years old for the type of car he was driving and always by white police officers. He worked all through high school and bought a used 740 Volvo with his earnings. One night I was following him home from a basketball game and the police went around me and pulled him over at a gas station and I also turned in as well. The officer asked my son how in the hell can you drive a car like this and is your dad a dope dealer? My son replied he work since he was 8 years old and saved for the car. I interjected and asked why was he pulled over and he said my son was speeding. I asked to get his supervisor. Once his supervisor arrived, he told him my son was driving in two lanes. When I told them both I was following my son and he just finished playing basketball and no my husband wasn't a dope dealer they let us leave with over 25 people was watching. He didn't give my son a ticket and two white parents from the same school chimed in on the situation. They were afraid. The next morning I went to my town mayor's office and we met with the police chief and the officer and once again the officer changed his reasoning while he stopped my son. He also told the mayor and the chief that he didn't think my son shouldn't be driving a Volvo!
I feel more at peace with my son walking around The Middle East than I do with him walking in The United States of America!!
"I feel more at peace with my son walking around The Middle East than I do with him walking in The United States of America!!"-- Wow, those words really do paint exactly how Black people in the USA feel right now. You couldn't have captured it in a better sentence. Your words have resonated with me.
Your closing statement was solid: " Son safer in Middle East"
@@chrissiec2123, I just commented on her closing statement. #Powerful
Vonn Blacker, I am with you. I've got two sons. The oldest had a "Sanford & Son" truck while he went to school. It was old and broke down frequently. When he graduated from college, he had three jobs and to celebrate, he bought a car I did NOT approve of. It was a bright red, Ford F150. He literally drove Off The Lot of the Car Dealership, got ONE MILE away and was harassed by a cop. From then on, for the next six months, he had to bake time into his schedule for being stopped all the time. He didn't ever speed, always uses turn signals, etc (drives like a little old lady). They would make up bogus reasons to stop him and ask why he was driving that truck. Finally, he couldn't take it any more and sold the truck. Meanwhile, my youngest when it was time for him to get a car, he specifically bought what he calls "a white soccer mom SUV." He hasn't been harassed the way his brother has. So *on top of everything else in life that Black People are forbidden from having just to avoid harassment by the people whose salaries are paid with our tax dollars, we can't even have a nice car.*
@Christopher Briscoe Unacceptable, yes, but this is the reality of being black in America. I just told a friend today that I wished I had moved to Germany when visiting with German friends there and they asked me to. I am 75 now, a black female Air Force veteran.
I'm not sure it is a training problem anymore. If they know how to treat some people while treating other people badly, this shows some sort of bias that is worse than just not knowing better.
Wow, wow, wow!!!!! You are the only person to ever get it right on youtube.
Absolutely correct!
@J W No, you wake up, because you've just proven your own point, Einstein. It's about BIAS!!!!!!
@J W I will skip over the fact that you have already basically admitted that it is about bias. Correct me if I am wrong, but this man was not walking in a neighborhood when cops approached him with gun in hand thinking he was someone he looked nothing like. Maybe you would say the same as a white stranger walking into a predominantly African American, Hispanic, etc. neighborhood, but where are the videos of white people being constantly confronted by police for being in those neighborhoods? It also is not just about being in neighborhoods, because African Americans have been killed in their own homes by police for no justifiable reason.

I’m glad he stayed so calm. Cops can flip in an instant if they feel you’re not giving them the respect they think they deserve. I was pulled over after leaving a restaurant with my dad. I went through the light and it turned yellow. He pulled be over as soon as I made the turn. He came to the window and said “do you know why I’m pulling you over?” I said “no”. “Just admit what you did and I’ll let you go” the cop said. My dad looks at the cop and says “are you attempting to get him to admit to breaking a law he obviously did not?” Cop asks “who are you?”. “His attorney” my dad says. Cop says “don’t run any red lights. You’re free to go” my dad says “he never did. Bye”.
It’s hard to have respect for police when you see such a huge majority of them carry themselves In such a smug and merciless way and commit crimes they jail others for.
This is the reason many drivers have a camera mounted inside their car.

I have video evidence of someone antagonizing officers after being stopped and threatening to kill them, he was able to speed off while a cop clung to his vehicle. By all account he resisted arrest. Not only did hr get to live he got to flee the scene without being shot. He was white
I know that feeling, being the mother of a black man. I got pulled over for speeding 5miles over the limit. Cop gets out hand on gun and approached the passenger side where my teen son was instead of the drivers side. I was so afraid. They put a flashlight in my baby's face, which was so upsetting. Like damn, leave him out of this, give me my ticket and go on about your business.

I recall being a teenager and casually sharing police experiences around some of my white friends and just being amazed at this "warning" they kept talking about. I got my first warning in my 30s (from a black officer).
Never gotten a warning as a white person
The closest to a police officer even pulling me over was when the chief who I met recently stopped next to me and made a mildly funny joke about lucky charms (I was eating some out of a school breakfast thing) but it was just her being sociable
Although i was in the car when my friend was doing 37 through a residential area in a car that stank of weed because of two passengers and he got a warning after being grilled about partying on halloween and leaving his gas cap open
Tbh its kinda just insane

Im a 6'3" 240 lb. man. I had plenty of run-ins with the law and even went to jail when I was young. I used to do drugs; one time when I was high and acting erratic someone called the police on me. When the police arrived, I was not "detained", they didn't try some sort of restraining technique, and I wasn't even arrested. Even though I was clearly high, the police did not do anything to me. They just let me go about my day like nothing happened. I was even quite rude and just being a total high asshole. I'm pretty sure the police went back and yelled at the caller for wasting their time by calling the cops on a white guy. This was all a really long time ago. I cleaned up my act and am now a Father. But perhaps if I looked differently I would not have beem given that extra opportunity for a productive and meaningful life based on that one instance I described alone.

Black people get similar treatment to White people. The difference is that there are some bad cops out there. If we start generalizing that ALL cops are mean to black people I think that’s kind of an unfair assumption
Similar treatment???
Why not equal treatment why not the same treatment why does it have to be different or as you say similar?

I've only been pulled over twice, both times I was speeding at night with friends, both times the cops acted totally respectful. Never raised their voices or made any threats or movements towards weapons, and gave us time to find papers despite being alone themselves. This is Canada though, mounties have like 3 years of training.
Furthermore, if anyone walked up on me with a gun pulled before saying anything I would freak out.
@@MrLoobu yes, sad banana republic it is
Training is everything... And also not having that unreasonable fear of another human being makes a huge difference.

I had a similar experience. On my wedding day, June 4, 1994, I was pulled over. I was on the way to the church. A Hispanic policeman told me to get out of the car. He put me in the back of his car. I had no tickets nor a warrant. He told me if I could hop on one foot and get to my car b4 he counted to 10, I could get married that day. I did it. Then sat in my car for a while crying.

Yes, it would have been better if both people had warrants out on them to see if the cops actually treat two people differently in the same situation because of their skin color. Cops are always going to be wary when dealing with someone they believe have a felony warrant.

Imagine this innocent dude see a cop walk up with their gun in their hand no warrants and never been arrested and this is what he has to experience being treated like a criminal.
She said he had a felony but her dept says he was stopped for speeding ...🤔
There is/was a warrant for someone using the same name as the guy who was stopped for speeding.
The reality where I live is that speeding is simply not enforced except in Black areas. Our main streets are six Lane highways with a median and a 45 mph limit. You can go 60 all day long and you will never have a problem. Driving to a black neighborhood and do 35 in a 30 zone and it's a question of time before you are stopped. I work for the school district and the staff at schools in black neighborhoods always warn you to obey the speed limits unless you want to be ticketed.
Lying in our face: we can see he is arrested. We can hear her (it’s the wrong guy) and she reports: speeding. And her boss reading the report is having a big red nose, long curly white hair and a funny hat. End of the story.
Notice that she immediately says his name when she approached his car with her gun drawn. Informing him that he has a felony warrant looming over him. Yet when they figure out that he is NOT the guy and release him......they state he was stopped for SPEEDING! Let THAT marinate......!
@Mike Hunt So, when I see news stories showing white people being pulled over for speeding and the officer approaches the vehicle with her gun drawn, then it's the same.
Thank you for sharing this story. We need to hear this.
Interesting how she drew the gun as a starting point then after realizing her mistake said 'Shoot'. It's like 'shoot' is the first thought for many. I'm so grateful that she chose not to shoot. Thank you both. You are both clearly very beautiful people full of love and caring. Shine on.
People will say "shoot" as a replacement for the word "shit".
@Christ Lake how are there people like you to this day? i thought we had developed a learning system.?
Interesting observation.
"Shoot" is used as a cute, funny and innocent replacement word, and these qualities ricochet onto the person using the word. Very ironic in this situation.
Ironically she use the same word for the actions she wanted to do.
interesting that CNN edited out the initial contact where police got the drivers ID returned to their cop car a ran this man for warrants, instead showing only the cops desision on how to deal with a person that they just got a hit for a a outstanding warrant.
As a black man myself, the minute I see those lights behind me, whether they are going off or not, I'm pulling over to avoid a confrontation
Have you thought about emigrating from the US? I think countries like Ghana, China, South Korea, or Japan would be a much better place to live as a black person than in the US.
Like the Army Lt did? Like phillando Castille? Etc? Come on bro u can't avoid confrontation its about them escalating every situation to deadly consequences
And that raised suspicion. They look for people who appear to be avoiding them.

Not surprised no response was received from the officer. She gets to casually go on her way, living her life, while this young man was humiliated, traumatized, demeaned and stripped of dignity for no reason other than utter incompetence. Loved how the officer casually said "this may be the wrong guy." A simple "I'm sorry" doesn't erase his experience. Sad and Pathetic!
And then they act like being put into cuffs isnt a traumatic experience in itself for someone who's never been arrested.
I was put into handcuffs in my own backyard because a random person called and said I was yelling then those handcuffs were put behind my back at the station and then elevated to just under my shoulders and the chain was locked to a hook in the wall in booking where they left me for 2.5 hours.
I sneezed and lack of mobility caused my shoulder to separate and to this day almost 2 decades later I still have pain.
My point is the mental trauma isn't the only thing. I have a painful reminder along with ptsd from other offenses against me that hit me in one way or another everyday.

I got pulled over on my way to a conference for failure to signal. When the cop asked me why I believed he'd stopped me that morning, I told him flat out "Because it's the end of the month" and his entire demeanor changed from that moment forward. He was so pissed he purposely gave me a warning just to make a point that he hadn't just pulled me over for his quota. Even though it was the end of the month and I think he was just embarrassed he'd been called out on it.
What department is this?
Lol yup! Only in america does an officer pull you over and asks you to guess what he/she was thinking while pulling you over. Lol Legends all of them
I once failed to change lanes on the highway when a cop had been on the side of the road with flashing lights. I hadn't even known about that rule in my state. Hours later, after I had stopped for lunch, the cop pulled me over much further down the highway. I have to think that he had just been parked on the side of the road flashing his lights (maybe after pulling someone else over) and writing down license plates, and then drove along hunting the cars on his list. Predatory policing at its most banal. At the time, I made the mistake of admitting it and got a ticket. Now thinking back, I should have denied it, forcing him to come up with whatever evidence he had, move on, or issue the ticket without evidence.
Even though you were right, I'm just glad you were able to survive through that and tell this tale.
Dude that was dangerous...but. That was a good line!
I remember about 16 years ago my husband and I were pulled over coming from my mom’s house. I was 20 and he was 23 and our son had to only be a few months old. We were just minding our business, not speeding or anything. A cop pulls us over and walks to the car and asks for the usual license, registration etc. Then he says they got several calls saying that we were driving crazy and running ppl off the road and tryna hit ppl. We looked at him like he was crazy because we literally had a newborn baby in the backseat and we’re just tryna get home. I was like nawl that’s a lie, we don’t know what you’re talking about. He just walks off with my husband’s info and comes back about 10 minutes later and hands him back his stuff and says you’re free to go. I asked him but what about the running ppl off the road and trying hit ppl? He just looked at me and walked off. We looked at each other and let out the proverbial breath that we were holding and drove home in silence, because we knew that nobody called in and nobody reported anything. He just saw a black couple in a nice car and decided to pull us over.
This is racial profiling, and they have even become more creative by now stopping black people for having air fresheners hanging on mirrors and just using any excuse. I just don't see how some officers can sleep at night. I am praying that we get police reform bill passed so that at least we have protection against being harassed and murdered at the hands of the police. Can you believe Congress passed the bill yesterday for the anti hate law in response to the violence against Asians???? And still ,we wait....I am so sorry you were subjected to racial profiling, but I am grateful to God you survived it.

It's so horrible that this happens to people. I'm sorry you both had to suffer like this. I'm glad your both okay.
What about the 'next time'? Will they be just as 'lucky'? We shouldn't have to live like this!
@@leofearon Pff look how smooth that went and its still being used as a "bad" policing example. No luck involved. He didnt resist and had his hands where the police could see them.
@@MlCKERS the police did practically NO WORK to look up Darius photo / record or else they would've known that it was the wrong guy from jumpstreet. And the "lie" where he was speeding - meanwhile the white friend got to have a breakdown and attitude and time to wait in her car. you can't be that dumb; research PHILANDO CASTILE, or the army lt. gas station from December 2020.
I was in the passenger seat of my college roommates car when we were pulled over one night (two black college-aged females). Her registration had expired and they were going to tow her car. We had just left the local library and our books were in the back seat. We literally had to beg the white officer to let us get our books out of the car. We then asked him to give us a ride as we were literally on the side of the elevated expressway/highway. He told us "I would leave you here on the side of the road where you belong, but I would get in trouble." He then dropped us off at the bottom of the nearest exit ramp, in the middle of the street. Wouldn't even pull into the parking lot to let us out. I will never forget this experience. It saddens me to this day that that man was unable to see us as humans but only by the color of our skin.
You should have reported him. We need to always leave a paper trail when disappointed 😞
These are the same people that believe that they are going to haven.
I'm tired of it being a crime to be black
Or maybe he was just an asshole. Not all asshole are racist just because you happened to be black and they are of another race.
@@andrenefinn704 Until they ask the cop and he says it's a lie, then it's garbage.
Wow, thanks everyone! I truly enjoyed reading all of the different experiences. ☺ Here's what I learned from them...Never judge a book by its cover! I've read so many different experiences and it's sad to say that SKIN COLOR is the only variable that changesd the outcome of those experiences! There's a saying that "Time brings about a change!" This is so very true, but unfortunately for people of color, the only thing that changes is technology and modern-day tactics of oppression while time repeats itself completing a full 360⁰. Yes, a true change will come, but not under the rulership of man!
That last line says a lot!
Man, you should play the lottery! You got lucky that day! Wow! This was a GREAT conversation! Thank you for having it on video.

As a white female with minorities in my family this breaks my heart. I've always been afraid for my brothers safety and seen first hand how awful they treat him compared to me. I walked into a court for a traffic violation, the court officers told me when I walked in. Just smile, u will be fine. Although that benefitted my immediate situation it made me sick to my stomach to see how unfair their treatment of ppl was
Again with the virtue signaling. This isn’t about you..
The fact u refer to yourself as a white woman and your family members as minority shows your bias and ignorance
Do something. Help. Or this guilt is just selfish.
@Odin Borsson exactly. They likely meant in general just have a nice demeanor, I’m sure that helps rather than going into court with a face that’s filled with attitude, but some people look for something that they consider privilege to be doled out to them.
@@Salik96 sssssshhhhh sassy on ten.
This is an important conversation as some people will never get it unless they've been through it.
Been through a cop arresting him because he had a warrant, they were polite and checked the details of the warrant and released him in the field with an apology and a perfectly good explanation for what happened. The only conversation that needs to be had here is wow the cops treat you with all the respect in the world and yall still complain about it
@@tedgey4286 Amazing how he wasn't upset about some other criminal using his name but instead upset with cops for enforcing the law trying to find that guy.
@@thunkjunk he was upset with them making a mistake and thier 1st reaction before identifying him was to pull a gun. Im guessing that went over your head.
I mean if you're a cop walking toward a car containing a white woman, vs a car containing a black man.... them statistics are hard to ignore.
@@tedgey4286 did you not hear the story the young lady told about her being able to reach all around her car looking for her license and registration and being givin a minute to gather herself? Far to many times if we tried to reach for the same thing they told us to get, the shots ring out....
The problem is the people who speculate their opinions without having any knowledge of the situation brothers like him go through.... what you think you know you don’t know.... best knowledge is too feel like you should know more...
Maybe we should just let the cameras give us the tickets. Traffic stops seem to be where it can all go down. Safer for everyone.
Like in most developed countries.
Fergel, even those can be tampered with . but better that than having any white person in our mist when we are just trying to get from A to B.
Blacks...
Self-driving cars are coming sooner than you think. Insurance premiums on "manual" will go up. Computers don't speed or violate traffic laws.
Actually with drones equipped with cameras all we need is cameras catching violations like speeding, running a red light, rolling a stop sign, broken tail lights etc and then drones photographing who is at the wheel. Frankly, there should be a feature where a driver as to identify him/herself as the driver, maybe insert the driver license card (in the future equipped with a smart chip). This identifies who is driving at the time of any such camera caught violation. There should be a notice sent via mail and email and to the driver's DMV record. The driver should be given 60 days to file any kind of defense for the noticed violation. A magistrate should rule on the evidence presented insofar as any alleged violation and determine guilt or insufficient evidence. Where guilt is determined, judge sets the fine. The fine should be subject to appeal based on financial hardship etc. All this can be virtual and NO cops need to directly interact with a driver for minor traffic offenses.
In the future, the cars along with a port for smart chip enabled driver license should also have a DUI prevention feature where the driver's BAC is internally monitored via grips on the steering wheel and breath analyzer also installed in the steering wheel. The car will not start a driver registered a BAC above a certain threshold and if the threshold is exceeded while a person drives, the car be equipped with an auto park feature where it automatically reduces speed, and using GPS exits the road at the nearest parking lot or gas station and shuts off. Where a car is off the road and the vehicle is off, the driver is actually safe from being cited and prosecuted for a DUI offense.
Insurance rates for cars with these features will be offered at greatly reduced rates so that driver safety is encouraged by financial incentives. THIS can be accomplished.
By doing this, cops can focus their efforts on active crimes where there is high likelihood of violence and harm to others. But expired tags, busted tail lights, 10 MPH above speed limit, rolling a stop sign stuff like that shouldn't involve direct driver/officer interaction. This can be accomplished with roadside cameras and camera equipped drones.
I hope they remain friends for a long time
People need to understand that these disparate experiences extend into the workplace, hospitals, in schools, at banks, and everywhere else.
@energizedbones It's not just about racism. That's what people don't understand. It's about profiling and expectations that the officers have. They may not be racist, but the act of treating black people as criminals because they expect them to be criminals is racist. I always thought that it didn't happen often then I saw my own father get tense at the wheel around officers; a teacher, a church elder, who has never committed a crime in his life. Officers treat black people differently, that's the problem. Not just racism.
@@MENACE-km6bd Part of what you don't understand is that the police treat almost everyone like criminals. When you're a hammer the whole world looks like nails. They are trained to assume anyone they interact with is a potential threat or could be committing a crime. They stop and detain folks (of all colours) without reasonable, articulable suspicion of a crime constantly under the guise of "suspicion".
According to the Bureau of Justice in 2018 (the most recent data set) there were 61,500,000 police interactions. Of those the police initiated contact rate for whites was 12% and for blacks 11%. These numbers show no significant disparity due to race.
@@MENACE-km6bd Ummm, treating someone differently because of their skin color or making a judgement because of that IS racism.
@@ClockworkWyrm Here's what I DO understand: The 68 year old gray-haired woman, a librarian, didn't hear the lights and siren behind her. 3 cops pulled her over and dragged her out of the car by her hair, threw her on the ground, pulled guns on her, tore a muscle in her shoulder, put a knee in her back and handcuffed her. You want to tell me a little old White woman would have had anything like that happen to her on a traffic stop? No??
@@MENACE-km6bd you are right black people in general get treated different from whites.
God bless you. My heart goes out to you. Thank God for your safety.
*I noticed an even more interesting difference here*
He remembered his quick and clear. Im pretty confident in my guess that it's because of his high stress level during that situation and being hyper aware at the time.
Her on the other hand, had to struggle a little bit to recall the details. She may have been stressed but I doubt she even felt like her life might be at risk.
This is why they made the video, she said she didn't fear for her life like he did. The cops didn't pull out there guns they just let us sit in the car while they check on everything, then come back to the window and give us a ticket or let us go on.
It's a dumb comparison tho cause hers is a basic traffic stop, all cops will go back to their car while they process your info. Only times they won't is if they have a warrant and suspect you of being a suspect, like what happened to the dude.
@@stopthecap4317 they came out of their car with guns drawn, they don't do that to white people. I got picked up on a outstanding warrant that I didn't even know I had. They took me to just get it straightened out when I have time.
Well yeah, when the majority of police resistance comes from dark people, your brain does the math and reacts accordingly
@@jordanthistle2360 that's cuz you're of a privileged race. Be thankful it's not your turn to learn to behave.
As a white man, I've been pulled over quite a few times when I was younger, I've never feared for my life. I've never had a gun pointed at me. The worst thing that has ever happened is the officer yelled at me to stop being a dumbass, which I deserved. Crazy how things are so different based off of skin color.
The worst I've ever been treated by a cop was being told to not J-walk. In a parking lot. The parking lot of my residence. My residence being a college dorm.
Maybe they get bored and decide to spice things up every once in a while?
I missed where they pointed a gun at him. What minute mark was that?
@@mickeytollison i feel like a non-gun person and gun people have different definitions of "pointing a gun at someone". Most non-gun people I think would define it as having an unholstered weapon facing you, while a gun person would define it as having the gun aimed at center-mass.
It's actually amazing that she was able to pull her pistol out for a warrant. A warrant is not a death sentence.
A felony warrant is approached with caution.
@@traceytracey3756 It was a traffic stop 1st, then she run the name,(incorrectly). Approached the vehicle weapon drawn, then put it away. Follow the actual action of the video.
@@bladerunner27x Yes, it was a traffic stop first; however, the name was correctly ran. An imposter used his identification. She knew his name as she approached the car with her gun drawn. A subsequent search of a photo was completed after she secured him in her vehicle.
@@traceytracey3756 I get what you're saying but shouldn't it be based on the type of felony? A person can have a felony and not be violent or pose a risk to the officer. By having the mentality that "I see a felony warrant so I must draw my gun", is not the right answer and leaves room for mistakes on both parts.
@@ricardohaynes4339 I cannot say for sure if the type of felony should make a difference. I simply don't know what considerations go into making that call. I would only be assuming, that because there can be tens or perhaps hundreds of types of felonies, it would be impossible to have that many procedural directives. That's just my guess.
Such a great example of a distinguished black gentleman, I'm proud of how he handled himself and hopefully others will see that we should be treated with respect and care.
