Black man righteously shames white cop who pulls him over

185. You're the one with all of the suppositions. Based on the known facts, racism is the likely suspect.

Here are the facts and reasonable conclusions one can make.

1. The guy was pulled over for a turn signal violation. Not reckless driving. Not driving at a high rate speed. Not for running a stop light/sign.
2. Standard police procedure suggests the LEO ran the car's license plate before he stepped out of the patrol car. He knows the car has not been reported stolen or else the encounter with the driver would have gone differently. (These are two big assumptions but they are very likely unless the LEO is completely incompetent which is certainly possible).
3. The patrol car's headlights are on (see the light on the LEO's right arm). In all likelihood, he sees that the driver is black before he reaches the driver's side door. Maybe the LEO doesn't know this but it sure seems likely that he does realize the driver's race.

From the facts alone, racism is the probable reason he pulled his gun. From these facts, what other explanation is there for the LEO to pull his gun? You're supposing other circumstances or events which are completely unproven in order to justify this LEO's behavior. Perhaps this LEO isn't a racist cop prone to abusing his authority. However, he is still acting like one which is just as bad. If he felt his life was in danger based on the facts above, then he should resign immediately as he has no business being in his line of work. He might not be as reluctant to keep his fingers off the trigger the next time he pulls over a frightened and angry black man for a lowly turn signal violation.
