The exception being the rare cop that was just trying to do their job, but even they looked the other way (literally, I noticed they would actually turn their heads and pretend they were seeing something in another direction, like cats do sometimes).

You learn this growing up poor or black, or worst case scenario poor and black in a city.

I am glad the comfortable people with the nice houses and two to three cars in their garages are finally learning the truth. Perhaps it is because now they have added the new stormtrooper gear or perhaps it is because most now have the ability to record things with their phones, but don't kid yourselves, just because you did not grow up poor or black and had no idea, doesn't mean this shit wasn't standard operating procedure and that it has been since at least the late sixties.
