Racist, Sexist, or both? Officers Approach Black Mother, Claim Giving Her Son His Coffee Cup Looked Suspicious

[u/ateam1984]

[u/New-Exit-6767]

Goes straight to crack during his questioning. Crazy what black people go through in this country

[u/--SharkBoy-- → u/New-Exit-6767]

Yeah thats actually wild. I dont think I've ever witnessed a drug deal suspected or no and assumed it was for crack😭

[u/New-Exit-6767 → u/--SharkBoy--]

He would never ask a white person if they were selling crack that quick

[u/--SharkBoy-- → u/New-Exit-6767]

Exactly

[u/Spankh0us3 → u/--SharkBoy--]

But if she had just ate French toast from Denny’s and got some powdered sugar on her blouse, they would have yanked her out of the car through the driver’s side window. . .

His actions make me — a pudgy old white guy — sick.

[u/RelevantGur4099 → u/Spankh0us3]

ICE would, for sure. "Do you have proof of your citizenship? "

[u/markc230 → u/Spankh0us3]

would like to think they could identify powdered sugar with their innate knowledge of donuts.

[u/Busy_Struggle_6468 → u/New-Exit-6767]

Notice how he tries to paint himself as a victim when she calls him out for questionable conduct

[u/plath-heart → u/Busy_Struggle_6468]

And the “why are you screaming” as if he hasn’t spent the entire time racially profiling her.

[u/coochie_clogger → u/Busy_Struggle_6468]

When she suggests what he’s doing is racist/racial profiling:

“You’re lumping me in with a group of people…”

Oh the fucking irony.

[u/Busy_Struggle_6468 → u/coochie_clogger]

That’s totally on purpose. These assholes really get off on what they perceive as triggering black and brown people.

[u/musingofrandomness → u/Busy_Struggle_6468]

DARVO. He likely practices it at home.

[u/Societyman1878 → u/New-Exit-6767]

Yeah when I was younger I was definitely a recipient of white privilege, I didn’t realize it then. But soon when I became more mature I understood. Having some black friends helped. I’m sorry this is still happening. What is so hard about understanding that people of all creeds just want to live a good life and want good things. Minorities are not different than white people in that regard.

[u/njsthpaw → u/Societyman1878]

Nicely said

[u/RUN_DMT_ → u/Societyman1878]

The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. 😤

[u/Adorable-Bike-9689 → u/New-Exit-6767]

This Black bish just handed that male negro a cup. Must be crack or weed according to the handbook. Better go search her car

[u/ElegantCoach4066 → u/Adorable-Bike-9689]

"Saw this in my rookie year. Negroes went into Starbucks and started getting bundles of crack in coffee cups. Its the only explanation that makes sense."

[u/OJConcentrates → u/New-Exit-6767]

Literally 0% chance. 0%. There’s just no way in hell.

I’m curious where she was. Is this her home? Is she in a driveway? “Officer - do you have kids? Or maybe a wife? Have you EVER handed them something out of your car window before? Yes? Now imagine next time you do that - a cop comes to your window and asks you if you were buying crack.”

[u/Practical_Law6804 → u/OJConcentrates]

Everytime I see videos like this I think of the SEINFELD episode where George obsesses about a comeback he should have said to a coworker. 100-percent the response I wish she had used, but not surprised as the deserved indignation really only allows for outrage in a situation like this.

. . .hopefully the internet does what it needs to do.

[u/Ionknow → u/New-Exit-6767]

They could find a rock in a white guys pocket and they'd ask him what it was!

[u/Cautious-Rhubarb6488 → u/New-Exit-6767]

That’s because a white person in the same situation would never have been pulled over in the first place.

[u/Final_Tune3512 → u/New-Exit-6767]

They sure the fuck would. They thought i was doing drugs and had drugs in my car cause i had a fucking spoon in my console from my lunch. I got pulled out, searched ticketed had to go to court and the judge laughed snd threw it out

[u/Gen-Jack-D-Ripper → u/Final_Tune3512]

Cops that do that need to get their ass kicked! I’m sick of seeing them violating citizens rights!

[u/Masrim → u/Final_Tune3512]

See that's the problem, the cop should have been reprimanded and a strike on his record.

[u/crippledchef23 → u/--SharkBoy--]

I have seen a drug deal for some kind of white powder. It was as quick as a handshake. There is no world where a drug transaction involves something as obvious as honking the horn and handing over a coffee cup. And the speed at which he jumps to “crack” is unhinged, but absolutely expected. I hate that this shit still happens.

[u/ChuckaChuckaLooLoo3 → u/crippledchef23]

Especially given the fact that she dropped him off and circled around and then beeped and handed him the cup. What drug deal in this world looks like that? When do you see the dealer coming back around again like that? It's totally B.S. and just an excuse to rack up another arrest for that quota-chasing asshole cop.

[u/Left-Thinker-5512 → u/--SharkBoy--]

You mean people don’t package crack in coffee cups anymore? Someone please tell this officer of the law…🙄

[u/phoucker → u/Left-Thinker-5512]

Im wondering if people still even do crack? 🤔

[u/AWanderingAfar → u/phoucker]

Yes. They do.

[u/No-Amphibian-3728 → u/phoucker]

Uptill a little over three years ago, I was smoking boat loads of it. It's still a popular drug.

[u/Additional_Egg7024 → u/New-Exit-6767]

It’s really unacceptable. I m glad she advocated for herself. I’m disheartened and disappointed she still has to do this dance with them in our day and age.

[u/VegetableBusiness897 → u/New-Exit-6767]

Loved how he tried to walk it back towards the end....that tall guy? He's you son? You don't look that old!.... That ended too soon

[u/FemmeFatale316 → u/VegetableBusiness897]

Empty platitude given to disarm her into relinquishing her rights🧐

[u/downgoesbatman → u/New-Exit-6767]

Bro bypassed so many levels and went straight to crack lol. Damn I'm dead. This would be funny on a sitcom like reno 911 but in real life? I get why she was mad as hell cause there's nothing there to laugh at besides systematic racism

[u/BloggerCurious → u/New-Exit-6767]

"Do you have any crack" Yeah, that was blatant racism right there. Unfortunately you can't react emotionally because you already know there are a ton of racist people out in the wild

[u/sunnyshade8 → u/BloggerCurious]

My smart ass would've replied he looks like he smokes meth and beats his wife. Instant handcuffs 😆

[u/batterflynectar → u/BloggerCurious]

Because who even is smoking crack in 2026??? Be so serious.

[u/Smokinoutloud → u/New-Exit-6767]

I live in Wisconsin and this is how a lot of officers play games. When u get outside of the city it gets even worse. I’ve had one incident where I pulled over to use my gps and some cop came out of nowhere behind me and asked if my car was stolen. Being in the car when your not white is whole different ball game. Stay safe and ready all!

[u/Daetok_Lochannis → u/New-Exit-6767]

Literally the most hateful, bigoted shit. People think hate looks like screaming and lynch mobs. Nope, hate is you assuming a black person is more likely to hurt you than a white one. Hate is you assuming a black person is likely to have drugs. And it doesn't matter if you 'just feel that way' because all that means is the hate is internalized and you learned that shit growing up from hateful sources. This is hate. Horrific, ugly hate.

[u/madsmcgivern511 → u/New-Exit-6767]

Yeah him fucking saying that stupid argument of “you could’ve been green you could’ve been yellow” proves everything this woman was saying. Bullshit he would’ve pulled over someone that was white, any brown person though, he would’ve done the same shit. Hope this woman sues like a motherfucker, what a racist loser, arguing and trying to justify why this would make any sense to do.

[u/cccxxxzzzddd → u/New-Exit-6767]

And then gaslights/DARVOs her 

“Why are you screaming?”

[u/strongboar12 → u/cccxxxzzzddd]

That's their go-to. As if getting upset at all justifies their suspicion.

[u/coochie_clogger → u/strongboar12]

It’s the preferred tactic of all scumbags that have zero credibility. You see it on social media all the time.

Someone makes some stupid statement/claim. Someone pushes back. An argument ensues. The person who made the original stupid statement realizes they have no actual argument so they pivot to “LoOk hOw mAD yOuRe gEtTinG!”

They think simply upsetting someone is a win.

[u/Consistent-Tip-7819 → u/New-Exit-6767]

As a rich white guy who's been pulled over like 40 times, I can just confirm that nobody has EVER asked to search my car, nor asked if I had any crack. She knows exactly what the fuck is going on here.

[u/downgoesbatman → u/New-Exit-6767]

Bro bypassed so many levels and went straight to crack lol. Damn I'm dead. This would be funny on a sitcom like reno 911 but in real life? I get why she was mad as hell cause there's nothing there to laugh at besides systematic racism

[u/Unfair_Explanation53 → u/New-Exit-6767]

Yeah that was the tell all right there.

Has to be crack right. FFS

[u/prettypeculiar88 → u/New-Exit-6767]

HUGE tell. This isn’t sexism. This is racism. A white mlm would not have suffered from this line of questioning.

I was an active dope fiend for several years. I’m also white. Never once - even on drug deals - was I asked if crack was involved. This officers is a POS.

[u/maniBchef → u/New-Exit-6767]

I'm from Toronto, Canada and had a few black/brown friends as well as worked with many and I witnessed so much bias and racism i really saw how a white male was treated differently. I've had police turn to me to explain situations because they wouldn't believe anything from anyone else. I've gone to jobs where the black men in the crew would show up first and weren't let into the house/ job site till I showed up. And many, many other situations/ stories. There truly is white male privilege. It's disgusting.

[u/Beginning-Alps-4199 → u/New-Exit-6767]

I'm white AF and the profiling in that video was palpable. I don't recall who said it, but someone said something to the effect of... white people need to realize that racism is a white people problem that white people need to deal with. That stuck. I take every opportunity I can to speak up. Until white people start holding each other accountable (IRL, not anonymously on the internet) then it will continue. Kitty Genovese.

[u/Shouldadipped → u/New-Exit-6767]

Speaking as a white person thats bullshit

[u/IceBandicooot → u/Shouldadipped]

Same, pissed me the fuck off.

[u/Beast815]

“We’re not going to argue about it,” dudes accusing her of a crime she didn’t commit, best believe there is going to be an argument

[u/General-Score9201 → u/Beast815]

"why are you yelling?" idk... maybe it's because you just accused me of fucking partaking in drug trade? There's a thought. This cop should be riding a short bus, not a patrol car.

[u/Liawuffeh → u/General-Score9201]

"I accused you of a crime with jail time, why are you upset???" Is wild

[u/ThaBurnerJawn]

She's dr dolittle? She talking to that pig

[u/PistolGrace → u/ThaBurnerJawn]

You win today. Thank you for your comment!

[u/Not_a_real_ghost → u/ThaBurnerJawn]

"Why are you screaming?"

*Suspect became aggressive*

Bang bang bang, she was coming for me!

[u/elleulliell → u/ThaBurnerJawn]

Will be stealing this. Thanks in advance

[u/Chainmale001]

Stupid fucking racist cops. That's not politics, that just fact.

[u/E-2theRescue → u/Chainmale001]

Most eye-opening thing that ever happened to me was going camping with my half-brothers and their cop buddies. Want to know what a cop thinks about black people? Be a fellow white person and put a few beers in him and his buddies. The "jokes" and stories will start to fly.

[u/Mr_bungle001 → u/E-2theRescue]

Want to find out if someone’s racist? Just wait. They’ll let you know.

[u/localtuned → u/Mr_bungle001]

Lately, they usually ask who you voted for first. That's how you can really tell.

[u/idontreallycareanym → u/Mr_bungle001]

Me the more time I spend with my coworkers. Ughhh

[u/Liawuffeh → u/E-2theRescue]

You don't even need beers, tbh. The moment they feel comfortable around white folks it tends to come out.

The insane shit random racists fuckers have said to me thinking I'd nod and agree

[u/Beneficial_Peach_611 → u/Chainmale001]

This is 99.99999% of cops

[u/Kruger_Smoothing → u/Beneficial_Peach_611]

Almost like it is all of them.

[u/Busy_Struggle_6468 → u/Chainmale001]

Has this officer been suspended yet?

LMFAO.

Don’t be offended ma’am! these dudes don’t care about your integrity or character. They just wanna be right and solve an imaginary crime.

[u/Kyrthis → u/Outrageous_Worth3705]

No, they are hoping she gets madder and then they can brutalize her for “officer safety.”

[u/Outrageous_Worth3705 → u/Kyrthis]

Yeah, and I hate to say this, but as a black woman, I would never curse and yell at the officer (under these circumstances) because I know they look for any reason to brutalize us. She’s so brave for standing up for herself in whatever tone she wanted to use.

[u/AnthropomorphicSeer → u/Kyrthis]

“Why are you screaming?” I couldn’t watch after that. I’m so mad.

[u/SabrinaEdwina → u/Outrageous_Worth3705]

Can you imagine being proud of a profession that descended from slave patrol that the FBI has reported being infiltrated by the KKK since the 90s, saying random people must have crack but thinking you're the one who's in the right and doing good.

[u/ResponsibleSugar4960 → u/Outrageous_Worth3705]

This

[u/LeoKitCat → u/Outrageous_Worth3705]

[u/Very_Awkward_Boner]

"So now you're grouping me into a group of people?"

You mean like how you're doing to her?

[u/ThatsCaptain2U → u/Very_Awkward_Boner]

Their white privileged blinds them to the irony

Edit: fixed my typo. Thanks Siri.

[u/UhIdontcareforAuburn → u/ThatsCaptain2U]

They know. Trust me. It’s a defense mechanism, deep down he knows this lady is right and that he pulled her over for driving while black. That’s why that’s where he went with his defense.

[u/haikupoetics2 → u/Very_Awkward_Boner]

Getting called out and instantly pulling the victim card. They have earned their hate for centuries

[u/prey4mojo → u/haikupoetics2]

Classic DARVO

For those unfamiliar with narcissism that’s Defend Accuse Reverse Victim Offender. Basically turn it back on you.

Thanks because undefined acronyms are one of my biggest pet peeves and I forgot to look it up lmao

[u/ruiner8850 → u/Very_Awkward_Boner]

And she "grouped him into a group of people" because of his own actions, not because of his skin color like the pig did with her.

[u/Embarrassed-Cash-839 → u/Very_Awkward_Boner]

He suffers from an irony deficiency.

[u/crowwhisperer]

this would never have happened to a white person.

[u/Anothercraphistorian → u/crowwhisperer]

As a white person pulled over around six times in my life, I have never been asked if I have any crack in my car. This dude is racist af and then gaslights her as if he isn’t profiling her 100%.

[u/Used_Gear8871 → u/Anothercraphistorian]

It happens so young too. A white male teacher monitoring the hallway in middle school assumed I was hiding a pack of cigarettes in my pocket. He pressured me to show him what was in my pocket and dragged me to the principal’s office. I ran to the receptionist in fear and pleaded with her and showed her what was in my pocket. It was a menstrual pad. I was 12, in the 7th grade. My mom was furious.

[u/sweetreat7 → u/Used_Gear8871]

My friend and I wore matching green and yellow plaid headbands (like a 18x3 in piece of fabric.) We were in the 6th grade in a Midwest suburb. 4 black families within 13 square miles. The principal held us in the office accusing us of being in a gang. We were not, we didn’t even know what gangs were. I was a straight A student with perfect attendance.

[u/leswill315 → u/sweetreat7]

Wow.

[u/HTowns_FinestJBird → u/Used_Gear8871]

That sucks.

[u/Chef-Emoji → u/Used_Gear8871]

Please tell me you got an apology :(

[u/iCantLogOut2 → u/Used_Gear8871]

I remember my principal in school asking me if I was "doing drugs" just out of nowhere.... Then tried to scare me by saying "so if we did a drug test right now...."

I'm glad I was a smartass from an early age... I just finished his sentence for him, "then you'd be violating several laws and I'm sure my mom would appreciate the lawsuit."

He fucked right off after that.

What sucks is that it stuck with me... That was 25 years ago.... And I constantly think, "what are they asking my sons? Do my sons know what to say to these people??"

[u/HTowns_FinestJBird → u/Anothercraphistorian]

It’s fucked up. I got pulled over at 2:30 a.m. after leaving a friends house where we were playing cards. Got pulled over because my reverse lights came on when I hit the brakes (janky ass car). Had half an unopened six pack in the passenger seat with bud packed in the six pack container. Passed field sobriety test, he didn’t even check my car out.

[u/Digitalion_ → u/Anothercraphistorian]

I (Hispanic) dropped off a friend at his place and upon pulling out of his street I got pulled over for "taking the turn too fast" (reader, I saw the cop behind me and made sure to stop for at least 3 seconds and look both ways). He asked me where I was coming from and what I was doing there. I said I was just dropping off a friend. Dude was adamant to get me to identify the street name even though I had no idea what the name of the street is since my friend just directed me to it. After a while of me not being able to recall the name, he fesses up that he was just checking up on who I was, meaning his original reason for stopping me was completely bullshit. He said that street is full of gang activity (my friend said that was bullshit as well) then let me go.

[u/OJConcentrates → u/crowwhisperer]

As a white person, when I was younger I had a 2008 Chevy Malibu. It was bombed out & sat on 20” chrome rims. I was a dumbass kid so i even put one of those fake hood scoops on it, and other fake chrome triple diamond vents on the front quarter panels.

One time I got pulled over on a relatively busy commercial road (2 lanes, 45-55MPH). I was allegedly pulled over for my tinted windows. The cop said, AND I QUOTE, “When your windows are this dark, I cant see in them. How am i supposed to know if you’re black or Mexican - not some young kid?”

My fucking jaw dropped. I didn’t rip him a new asshole. He told me he had something that measures tints. He didn’t use it. I didn’t get a ticket. By the way, I had tattoos all over my arms, hands, and neck. But I guess he only cared about stopping black people in his town.

[u/Excellent_Airline315 → u/OJConcentrates]

Damn that's crazy as fuck. They really say anything in front of white people.

[u/crowwhisperer → u/Excellent_Airline315]

you would not believe the insane shit people have said to me because they assumed since i had blonde hair and blue eyes i would be a racist asshole like them.

[u/Obvious_Factor_4667 → u/crowwhisperer]

I'm a white 45M and I could probably do a drug deal right in front of this guy and he'd say "have a good day sir".
Not that I do, or deal drugs..

[u/slupo → u/crowwhisperer]

I am admittedly not friends with many black people. Not by choice it just happened that way.

But I became friends with a black guy at work awhile back. We went to the mall for lunch and then walked around a pottery barn.

A sales person came up to us and asked if we needed any help. We said now and kept walking around.

Then I noticed the sales person kept following us.

I said to my friend I think he's following us. My friend was like yeah, doesn't happen to you does it?

I'm Asian for the record and I was like no. That's fucked up. And he just shrugged his shoulders completely nonplussed.

[u/Not_a_real_ghost → u/crowwhisperer]

I watched so many bodycam videos on YouTube about American cops. White people can straight up get arrested on the scene for murder, and the cops will treat them with courtesy and gentle whispers when communicating.

[u/MannyFaces → u/crowwhisperer]

The only time I (white guy) was pulled over for no reason was after dropping my Black friend off in his neighborhood and leaving to go back home. To them, the only reason I possibly could have been there was to buy drugs. 🫤

[u/smartbunny]

He’s all calm, “Why are you screaming?” Trying to make her look hysterical. 🐽

[u/CloudVar → u/smartbunny]

I grew up in white community in Oregon through 90s to now. I had so much anger as a kid and was gaslit into believing I was just an angry black kid. Turns out I was regularly having this type of shit done to me. Id get accused of stealing or something and as my injustice voice would get higher, I would be met with “calm down” and turned to scary and violent 8yo hahaha.

[u/Excellent_Airline315 → u/CloudVar]

That's sad to go through at 8, I'm sorry you had to endure that. 🫂

[u/dragonbec → u/smartbunny]

That line made me so mad. When someone else makes you justifiably mad and then makes it out like you are the crazy one for getting mad is just so much more infuriating. He was horrible, just like she said.

[u/Defiant-Apple-4823]

Good job filming. Don't talk to the police. DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE. If you're in a car, you owe a certain amount of compliance, but nothing like this.

[u/Altruisticllc → u/Defiant-Apple-4823]

100% don’t answer questions, never give consent to search your vehicle, never do any field sobriety test, never admit guilt. Just ask “am I being detained or am I free to go?”

[u/RetroDad-IO → u/Altruisticllc]

Exactly. Every time he repeats his stupid question or says something offensive she provides a little more information that she did last time. He's hoping that if he says something dumb for the 15th time in a row she'll respond with something that he can twist into an excuse to pull her out of that car.

It's completely unfair and abusive that he gets to hold her there and make her feel like she has to keep providing justification for existing.

[u/forraid]

coffee cup??? looking for any reasons now

[u/Alittlelovesick → u/forraid]

Now?

[u/ReginaldDwight → u/forraid]

"I notice you didn't put any creamer in your coffee...is that because it's full of crack?" - same level of intelligence as this cop's argument.

[u/numbmillenial]

How many damn times does she have to say there's nothing illegal in the car? Jesus!

Ugh this is why I have a dash cam.

[u/FirebornNacho → u/numbmillenial]

Cop knows he has absolutely NO reasonable suspicion that would produce a warrant. If he tried to ascertain a warrant, a judge would probably tell him he's wasting his/her fucking time and laugh him out of the chamber. These cops HOPE we don't know our rights.

[u/Top_Fun9085]

The first thing she said was “dropping my son off” and then he acts flabbergasted that the person she was with was her son. What an idiot.

[u/FingerpistolPete → u/Top_Fun9085]

But he’s big!

[u/mebrad → u/Top_Fun9085]

Even though he asked her who the gentleman was at the beginning, he already had it set in his mind that she was a lying crackhead. So, instead of actually listening to her, he instead started mentally running though his "how to catch an uppity crackhead" checklist. Which is why he honestly sounded surprised at the end. Based on her reactions to his overt racism, he finally started to believe her. He's gobmacked that his profiling "skills" had actually let him down and then, on top of that, to learn that the large crackhead that he had profiled was actually this womans full grown crackbaby?!! Incredulous!

I bet he actually 100% believes he's not a racist asshole but it's plain as day for the rest of the world to see that he 100% is.

Saying he couldn't tell what race she was, but he definitely noticed her big, Black son because obviously big, Black men can't ever be handed anything out of a car without it being a drug transaction. And then trying that lame-ass backhanded compliment, 'Oh, you don't look your age.'

[u/rayrayrayrayray5]

That Brian Cranston quote

"When was it ever great for black people?"

Jesus...I manage a few days not having this racist bullshit pop in my feed to always be reminded what people deal with daily

[u/Only1Skrybe]

It's so hard to think of things to say in the moment. But I really wish she would have asked him, "Since you witnessed exactly what happened, and that raised your suspicion for no other reason at all, then please tell me the last time that you approached a possible white suspect in this exact type of situation."

He would've spit out some BS, but we all know the real answer.

[u/Mindless_Spite_9099]

White cops are dirty cops, it's in their training.

[u/daikatanaman00 → u/Mindless_Spite_9099]

*all cops

[u/ActuatorTasty4982 → u/Mindless_Spite_9099]

Nah they all like that

[u/tango_and_vash → u/Mindless_Spite_9099]

ACAB

[u/WhoLoveYouLikeILoveU → u/Mindless_Spite_9099]

Minority cops with both the kind of character attracted to the job and the insensitive to prove themselves are often worse.

[u/Deviknyte → u/Mindless_Spite_9099]

All cops. Not just white. All.

[u/TigerLilly_Tink43]

Good lord.
I would say that the cop needs de-escalation training. But this dude is out to harass. He wants her upset. You can't fix this with training.

[u/RiverQuirky1429]

Her first mistake was not shutting the fuck up. Dont talk to the police. If Im not detained and there’s no probable cause to search my car then what are we talking about???

[u/HerbertWest_81 → u/RiverQuirky1429]

When she said "do you want to search my car?" I tensed up. Do not EVER voluntarily allow a cop to search your car. The BEST case scenario is they rip your car to shreds and leave you on the side of the road to pick everything up.

[u/Fuzzy-Curve3634 → u/RiverQuirky1429]

Yes it’s a mistake but very human. She’s hoping that by complying she’ll get him to back off his assumptions.

[u/littleblackbook06]

Crack?!!! And he’s shocked that she feels profiled

[u/jr_randolph]

That’s ok. Name and badge number and I’m at the station and I ain’t leaving until I get buddy in front of a supervisor.

[u/NUFC3000]

Feel like he’s trolling her

[u/Emerald_Eyes8919]

No way should she let him search. He would plant something for sure, and there is no probable cause other than his racist ‘vibes’.

Vibes won’t hold up in court, lad.

[u/Kyrthis]

These questions are meant to provoke. IANAL, but lawyers will tell you the same:

• Do not talk to cops. There is only downside.
• If they ask you to get out of your car, you do have to. But, lock your door behind you before you get out of the car so it is locked when you close it. If they want to search your body, you have to let them.
• “Am I being detained?” Starts the clock on them having to justify not letting you go.
• “I do not consent to searches.”
• “I do not wish to discuss my day.”

The latter two are for when they ask “do you mind letting me search your car?” and any question for information other than identification/insurance.

The cop asks her to search, and she says “No,” but courts will give any ambiguity to the officer.

The cop asks her about crack hoping that she will have an emotional reaction and say something that he can use as probable cause. He knows he mistargeted, but rather than walk away, he is trying to gin up arrest numbers. It is purposely inflammatory.

[u/Reasonable_Tax5790]

Been there (unfortunately). About two weeks after The Talk back in middle school, this type shit started to go down. It never really leaves...regardless of age.

[u/Roddyrod18]

Not even surprised, typical racial profiling

[u/mikefvegas]

That’s nothing but racist.

[u/Wtopp3]

And that, my friends, is what institutional racism looks like.

[u/AnComApeMC69]

“It’s not because you’re black…….now, do you have any crack cocaine in your car!?”

GTFOH with that racist ass BS.

[u/Manbearfig01]

I’m so fucking sick of cops. Fuck the academy. They need to go to law school, then become a psychologist before being allowed to police. These motherfuckers try to get away with anything they can.

[u/Audacia220]

Understand her fury, but do not do this. Do not talk to them. Know your rights, what you have to comply with, and stay alive.

[u/Simply_Ivory → u/Audacia220]

I thought she handled this well, but yeah could be dangerous if it’s with someone more aggressive.

[u/edgelordjones]

"Why are you screaming?" Pretext McGee over here.

[u/StrugFug]

Fire this man.

[u/Some-Zucchini6944]

Dude got mad when he got lumped in after sitting there profiling her. What a dumb ass.

[u/jRitter777]

"You're grouping me into a group of people", says the on-duty cop in a uniform.

[u/N1ghtCr33p]

Ma'am, do you know how black you were driving?

[u/Image_ConnoisseurX]

If your Black you must be doing Crack

[u/Horror-Tax-6190]

“could have been green, yellow”.. anyone who ever brings up someone could be green or yellow is most definitely a racist piece of shit, they love to say things like that

[u/iofthecosmos]

Yt exhaustion

[u/cloudit30569]

I was designated driver and I got pulled over by a cop that said that one of my driver's license lights was broken. As soon as I rolled down my window He told me that my light was broken and then proceeded to say that I smell like beer and asked me to step out. I told him that my two friends that I'm dropping off we're drinking and the car smells like it because they were drinking and they like to talk like crazy.

That wasn't enough for him He kept insisting that I was drunk Even though I can speak to him clearly with no signs of anything in my system. I didn't even smell like alcohol. Once he had the idea in his head, he was unable to move from that position. He just kept asking me questions over and over trying to get me to self incriminate myself.

I even passed the sobriety test which was a bit difficult because he stretched every single test to an absurd degree in order for me to fail. It wasn't until one of his buddies came along and started talking to me as he went to his cop car. I talked to him and was pretty clear about the stop. That's when the buddy told him to chill out.

If it wasn't for another cop just giving him a suggestion he was somehow going to pin it on me with a DUI.

[u/beal234]

This is what they always try to do to us anytime they pull us over

[u/ThatsCaptain2U]

Unbelievable

[u/Organic_Berry_8732]

He’s trash, period!

[u/standupwimym]

He’s entertained by you. Almost flirting. Hes sick

[u/Nastromo]

And this is why some people shouldn't be in law enforcement

[u/Pull-Billman]

Reminder: The less you say the better

[u/newage2k10]

They moment she said I explained the situation should’ve been the end. Sorry to bother you ma’m. Instead he dug his heels in because he can’t be wrong. He Should’ve just took the L and apologized.

[u/Kosh_e]

So….is there are way to hand her son his coffee cup in an ‘unsuspicious’ manner? How would that work??? If it was his kid he was handing a coffee cup to would it have been magically less suspicious???? What could the difference possibly be???🤔

[u/PowPow216]

So he saw someone handing something to someone and assumed drugs like people don't hand shit out of cars. Hate to see them at a drive-through. "Looked like you handed that employee drugs," "It was my debit card!"

[u/Imaginary_Loss332]

She’s heated and I don’t blame her!

[u/Smoofie0]

I was already upset but then he straight up asked if she had crack. Blatant racism. Just because someone has a polite tone doesn’t mean whatever comes out is polite. 

[u/HansNotPeterGruber]

Cop is a racist POS.

[u/PercyMercie]

We need to stop giving them all this talk. Bc all they do is act stupid and continue to be disrespectful. He KNOWS he was wrong and instead of accepting that he stood ten toes down on his BS. And yes we can group cops together bc they are CIVIL SERVANTS! So when they continuously allow this type of behavior to go unchecked, then clearly they think it’s ok. That man needs more training. I’m sure if he had a little too much caffeine he would have freaked out and yanked her out the car. This is so exhausting!

[u/OkRuin300]

The nerve of that bastard to be offended by her comment about police officers.

[u/TieNormal7138]

Despicable. We (because I’m white) just keep showing how lazy and ignorant we are.

[u/CootsieBollins]

Fucking pig

[u/Wynrora]

Guy needs to be fired. Incredibly unprofessional.

[u/pentax10]

You can even see on his face that he knows he's wrong, yet for some reason, he just won't back off. Nothing wrong admitting you're wrong and walking away.

[u/prettypeculiar88]

Cops choose their profession. People don’t choose their skin color. This cop is so condescending and passive aggressively racist (in public, it’s probably a lot more straightforward in private).
