Not justifying the officers at all. This didn’t warrant any physical contact by the police. Sorry you and your kids went through this,
BUT, as black people, we need to make sure we have our shyt together at all times.
Don’t give them a legit reason to pull you over. You know they want to pull you over anyway. Explaining things to police rarely works out. Don’t put yourself in a position where you have to explain anything. Do whatever you can to avoid dealing with police. Don’t speed, wear seatbelt, come to a complete stop, don’t make illegal turns, pay outstanding tickets, don’t have expired plates, don’t blast music or make yourself more noticeable.
