What is meant to be the point of racism?

So, I’m driving to my office to turn in my weekly paperwork. A headlight is out. I see a Tucson Police Department squad vehicle turn around and follow me. I’m already preparing for the stop.

The lights go on and I pull over. The officer asks me how I’m doing, and then asks if I have any weapons.

“Yes, sir. I’m a concealed carry permit holder and my weapon is located on my right hip. My wallet is in my back-right pocket.”

The officer explains for his safety and mine, he needs to disarm me for the stop. I understand, and I unlock the vehicle. I explain that I’m running a 7TS ALS holster but from the angle, the second officer can’t unholster it. Lead officer asks me to step out, and I do so slowly. Officer relieves me of my Glock and compliments the X300U I’m running on it. He also sees my military ID and I tell him I’m with the National Guard.


Lead officer points out my registration card is out of date but he knows my registration is up to date. He goes back to run my license. I know he’s got me on at least two infractions. I’m thinking of how to pay them.

Officers return with my Glock in an evidence back, locked and cleared. “Because you were cool with us and didn’t give us grief, I’m just going to leave it at a verbal warning. Get that headlight fixed as soon as possible.”

I smile. “Thank you, sir.”

I’m a black man wearing a hoodie and strapped. According to certain social movements, I shouldn’t be alive right now because the police are allegedly out to kill minorities.

Maybe…just maybe…that notion is bunk.

Maybe if you treat police officers with respect, they will do the same to you.

This article/post isn't new, but I saw it again online today, and I'm curious about the specifics of these claims of "racist cops". Is the claim that cops just don't like the look of black skin aesthetically and just feel like shooting it?

I've only seen one or two cases where someone was shot by the cops when they weren't threatening or fighting with the cops, so it's not like these are just drive-by shootings, and none of those cases were even brought up by BLM. They seem to only champion these world class turds with mile-long rap sheets who get shot fighting with cops, and don't do a bit of research to see that twice as many white people are shot by cops, despite even representation in the murder rates.

Can anyone give a little insight into the reasons they think cops shoot black men?

Because only black lives matter

I think the answer should be obvious after looking at these pictures...
