Black man righteously shames white cop who pulls him over

150. The juxtaposition of your story and the Woolworth's sit in, doesn't really make sense to me.

While your (dignified and impeccably groomed ) coworker was offended, she was not under any threat of violence. She reported an officers lack of tact.

This man in the video felt threatened, and didn't take too kindly to it. He reported a threat on his person, in the most direct (not necessarily the smartest) way possible in the moment. It's not as if his complaint would get any attention from the PD.

Whether you like what he did and how he did it, or not he's not representing a "movement", he's representing himself. His respectability is not at issue. He didn't ask to be your hero.

Respectfully, you don't do the Civil Rights Movement, MLK, or yourself any favors in this comparison.
