I am a resident in a rich neighborhood and I have seen and I have heard of things from teachers about random black people being stopped and questioned, but I have never heard about this happeneing to white people. I do realize that there are plenty of great police officers.

A study was done in my town where about 3% of the population is black and of all the times someone was pulled over about 35% of the time it was a black person who got a citation.

I have a little bit of knowledge on this subject, and it hurts me to say that yes. I live in a neighborhood (a gated one at that) where people have a little more than others. The whole time I have been driving ( 7 years) I have been stopped about 20 times, each time being asked what I was doing in that neighborhood. Now let me describe myself: male, 23, hispanic, clean cut, college student, plain. I do drive a lux. SUV, but that too is as plain as the day we bought it.
Out of the 20 times that they stopped me, only one time was I breaking the law, speeding. A few times they have stopped me on my very street. Almost every time they asked me if I have ever been to jail. They ask me if I have a license. Its more funny than anything. They have made me get out of the car and sit on the curb. And dont just say "white cops" because I feel that they are not the worse ones, It's often your own kind.
just my dos cents

it variety of feels some asians the racist ones are basically following the whole crowd. i won't have the ability to stand a number of them because of the fact it variety of feels they are racist in direction of the those that they experience that others are racist against. Everytime a black,or hispanic is going right into a shop the asian adult males, little ones,or ladies proprietor of the shop no longer all thou purely some finally ends up observing that individual. I propose in case you gonna try this why open a shop understanding your gonna have distinctive races,and nationalites enter. Alot of asians i be attentive to will bend over, and kiss a white persons azz. They wanna get as much as that time so as that they think of in the event that they act greater racist in direction of the main objectives. they gets appreciate, and that i do no longer fairly get it. Im blasian my mom is Filipino,and My dad is African american,yet I hit upon myself as black alot of Filipino's are cool with blacks thou. the single undertaking that makes me mad is that Alot of the Asian cultures in Asian constantly placed mild dermis as this is greater beautiful then others dermis. Alot of asians will freaking kill themselves to have white white dermis.

Well umm let me think..
If you walk around with a do rag on your head,drive your honda civic with the stereo booming with your seats so far back that you can't be seen..ummm let me think..gee maybe you are inviting trouble..and then again maybe I am insane.. And gee funny thing is there have been lots of shootings lately by ..wait for it..black gang members..
So the thinking of the cops is..quack like a duck,swim like a duck then you are probably a duck..
So the moral of the story is ..don't act like a criminal and you won't be treated like one..

Gee! I didn't know I was black.
Now where are my benefits?
The police seem to like pulling me over every night when I'm on my way into work.
Oh and I get citations too!

First, I'm thinking you have no idea about what you're talking about.
Secondly, I'm thinking you aren't a resident in the "rich neighborhood" & therefore don't belong there.
THey were right to run you off!

Have you thought that it is a strong possibility that african americans that are not rich businessmen in suits are searching for rich houses to rob?

I failed Mind Reading 101, so apparently I'm not as up-to-date as you are on what the rest of the world is thinking or feeling.

I think only idiots make blanket statements about subjects they have no knowledge of.
Please post the link to the study. I would like to read it.

I think cops are just people who have to deal with bad guys day after day.

No. Their goals are to protect and serve. And to do that within the law. They're not going to do something stupid and risk losing their pension.
