Police have been spying on black reporters and activists for years
Honestly, I was blind to police racism against blacks. Until I watched this video.<p>----------------<p>This is a shocking video:<p><a href="https://www.wral.com/ace-perry-pulled-over-by-sampson-county-deputy-for-driving-under-the-speed-limit/18953130/" rel="nofollow">https://www.wral.com/ace-perry-pulled-over-by-sampson-county...</a><p>+ white cop pulls over black driver (North Carolina)<p>+ refuses to tell him why he was stopped until he shows ID<p>+ asks driver questions about company name on his tee-shirt<p>+ expresses incredulity when driver says he works at the company<p>+ asks driver other irrelevant personal questions.<p>+ tells driver he was stopped for driving UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT (doing 65 in a 70)<p>+ asks driver: "wouldn't you find it suspicious if someone were doing 65 in a 70?"<p>+ gives driver a WRITTEN WARNING for driving 65 in a 70.<p>+ brushes off driver's questions saying "I've got stuff to do"<p>+ Feb 2020<p>Googling about the case `"Ace Perry" Sampson` it seems no action was taken against the officer. If anyone has an "in" with the ACLU (or similar), the police dept. could use some publicity.<p>(Strange how some cases don't get the attention they deserve.)<p>(Note: in response to a now apparently deleted comment: I'm aware that some roads have minimum speed limits. I remember once seeing on a highway: max75 min40. However, 65 in a 70 is just prudence.)
