Minutes later, the cop returns and asks Samuel to step out of his car so it can be searched, claiming he doesn’t have to test the “tree stuff” before searching for drugs. Samuel balked at the officers’ order and asks repeatedly why he’s being ordered from his car. That’s when the officer is seen reaching in and forcibly removing the man from his vehicle.

They also like to claim that grass clippings on the floor looks like weed and that an air freshener is there to cover the smell. They consider this 'probable cause'

The racism in this country has only gotten worse since Trump was elected. He has encouraged and legitimized this hatred.

America. If it's not the rudeness and hatefulness, then one is likely to be shot to death by someone or killed by cops.
