As for your anecdotal "evidence", perhaps the people you pulled over were worried they were guilty of DWB.

I read that long ago, rj. That isn't new information. That unarmed number includes people that violently resist and are shot. You used Michael Brown of all people. You know, the guy that strong-arm robbed a convinced store and then physically assaulted a police officer. And he was only shot when he decided to turn around and charge him. Great example of "unarmed".

4% of police shootings are "unarmed" Americans. In 2015, 16 "unarmed" black men were killed by police. SIXTEEN. Let's assume for a moment that police were completely in the wrong here... this is an epidemic you'd have us believe is systematic racism against minorities? Out of the millions of police-to-citizen encounters, 16 "unarmed" black men were killed. Most of whom were fighting arrest.

However, I'll admit that it has happened. That is an issue with police negligence but definitely not a racial bias. The South Carolina shooting and the Florida shooting of the care taker come to mind.

As for your second comment, while you casually dismiss my "anecdotal" evidence, you nonchalantly use actual anecdotal evidence to support the notion that people think that DWB is an actual thing. I gave an actual example of me explained to a black couple that I was looking for a white couple, and they thought I pulled them over because they were black. I explained that to them. I explained everything. They didn't care. They undoubtedly thought they were stopped for DWB, but that's based on stupidity and willful ignorance.
