My experiences with cops are not positive. My family has also had bad experiences. We are bigger than most people though. I understand why they approach large men this way. 

My brother has scars all over his legs from being beaten by cops back in the day. Did he deserve it for asking directions? No. But to say [BLEEP] act like [BLEEP] based on skin color is [BLEEP]. They act like [BLEEP] because they think they can get away with it. Regardless of the melatonin level.

I guess I just don't like the narrative that "only" black men deal with this

That's just how it goes in politics today though.  If you want to mobilize over educated white liberals to be against something, they're mostly not going to care until you tell them it's racist.  So if you want them to care about correcting bad police tactics, the fastest way is to highlight the cases where blacks were the victims.
