Honestly I can’t tell. Sad thing is that it’s more of a surprise if it turns out that cop isn’t a racist.
Either way, hope the driver gets lots of money from them. Cause fuck em, that’s why.

Unless “this is how you guys get killed” was a reference to driving without a seatbelt.

I don’t suppose they keep records that might show if there’s a statistical anomaly in the number of black drivers stopped for infractions like this?
Without that, someone can say “He was breaking the law”, without worrying about awkward questions like:
“Do you really think black drivers don’t wear seatbelts that much more than white drivers?”
“Do black drivers’ taillights burn out that much faster?” (Especially with LED ones now.)

Huh. That headline seems familiar. Oh yeah, from earlier today.
Can’t find racism if noone says anything!

No one in the history of the English language has ever used the term “you guys” to “other” non-seatbelt-wearers.

So, it seems that “Comply or Die” is somehow not a song written by Ice T, but was the name of a racehorse. Just a pair of facts I found interesting.
