Since when is a state senator due more respect than any other public servant? They have a responsibility to act better than the average taxpayer since they are elected to serve the public.Heck, if it were a black person, he'd have probably used that as a pretext to search the car.
Remember when they released that video of when the police stopped Ahmaud Arbery , who wasn't doing anything but hanging out in a park. The cop kept trying to search his car, without probable cause, and he stood up for his rights. The cop's sensible response was to try to use a taser on him, which malfunctioned comically.

And what is "her place," exactly? He's a beat cop, and she's a state senator. Maybe he should know HIS place.
Oh, wait, I think we know what you REALLY mean.
Check your Privilege, Lisa.
If a cop told you to drop and suck, I expect you would.
It should also be the very real fear that some cops will HAPPILY torture, kidnap, or MURDER you purely because they want to and you looked at them funny.
You might notice that her husband was supportive of the cop and worked to deescalate the situation, NOT to escalate it like his wife did. The husband's actions are probably the only reason the senator didn't wind up in jail since she committed a misdemeanor by obstructing and/or resisting the cop. The average citizen, regardless of race, would have been in jail for those actions.Um, what I saw was a cop who pulled a black person over for a petty offense and quickly escalated the situation by putting her in handcuffs in front of her husband.
But mileage may vary.
You get the respect that you deserve... your statement is hypocritical. You whine about how the government is mistreating you, but when you see the government mistreating a black woman, you are oh, so, fine with it.
Had some bad outcomes, have you?
Yeah, you are describing yourself.

It wasn’t racial profiling, it was lousy driving by a self-important “public servant”. Stop signs mean STOP, not slow or go ahead if clear like a flashing yellow light. The cop enforced the traffic laws like he was hired and paid to do by the taxpayers. I’ve watched YouTube videos where white men and women went to jail for refusing to produce ID during a traffic stop. Not producing ID during a traffic stop is a misdemeanor in every state. Regardless of race, that state senator should have gone to jail. That is the only thing I can fault to cop on.Why are they obligated to put up with racial profiling? It would seem to me they have an obligation to stand up to that sort of thing.
I would agree that the poleece need more training, especially in Royal Nubian law, so that cultures are not violated.Why are they obligated to put up with racial profiling? It would seem to me they have an obligation to stand up to that sort of thing.
