People of color have every reason to be suspicious of cops.

I take it you don't have friends who've been racially profiled. I
have first hand experience and let me tell you that it's ugly.

I was riding with a friend in South LA in a completely legal, properly
registered car with nothing wrong, no traffic infraction when we were
pulled over.

I was asked by the *BLACK COP* if I were okay and if I could vouch for
my friend. I looked at him and asked why the hell he required
vouching for? Why didn't he have to vouch for me? He didn't respond.

How would you like that sort of treatment for your skin color?

This is an everyday occurance in the black community. They've grown
up with it and come to expect they're prone to become subjects of
baseless, arbitrary harassment.
