they missed the huge elephant in the room somehow.

They weren't trailed for "making eye contact" with the cop.

That is cop bullshit because the cop couldn't come up with a reason other than the real reason — just like the "not signaling one hundred feet before the turn" crappola.

They were pulled over for driving while black.

It's that simple.

We should all know this by now.
