Different View on Black Lives Matter

So I'm driving. I get pulled over and slid my hands out the window and holler "I'm unarmed! I mean you no harm officer." He takes my info back to his squad and my passenger, who just so happens is a specialist in proof reading books, not that that matters, says . . . "Oh aren't you overacting. You're not black, he isn't gonna shoot you." Officer comes back and thanks me for how I handled myself. Oh yeah! I have to remind my passenger that I'm a professional on these matters.

Then I got to thinking just how fractured the police/black relationship really is.
