black woman in a fine car from Chicago.
So now, as seen by the racist white cop, you are on patrol in your little Dixie slice of Racist Whiteland heaven and you see a late model car breeze by you driving just as fine and carefree as any uppity black woman with Illinois plates on her late model car can be.
This racist white cop does not know it yet but he is about to be uppitied 3 times in about 30 minutes!
This person is getting uppity by driving this fine car from Illinois in Texas while black, then when he pursued her like a demon cop out of hell, this already once uppity black woman changes lanes to the right as the cop rushes up behind her, as she should, but every so uppity without a turn signal.... - second uppity, no signal light - the third uppity is the refusal to put out a cigarette even though the law enforcement officer had concluded his business of a warning - he had asked ever so politely and kindly and ever so gratuitously.
For no legal reason mind you, or for officer safety from second hand smoke, just a polite and kind gratuitous request from an upstanding white cop man with a "heritage" of Southern hospitality and pride.
What did the cop, thinks the cop, did I do to get such uppity disrespect for a third time??
"Get out of the car". "I am going to light you up!"
"Uppity girl...get out or I will haul you out"!
Yeah, sure, deceased Sandra Bland should share some blame.....perhaps in some Bizzaro-world media fantasy land of twisted logic, fact and science denial and even criminal evidentiary burden, but I see none of that around.
