They’ve been doing it for decades.

I got pulled over on Mill St. in the early 2000’s - presumably because I, a white female, had several black males in my car. The cops claimed it was because a car similar to mine had been reported stolen in the area (yeah, ok, whatever).

Even after I produced my license and registration proving it to be my car they still made my friends get out and patted them down and proceeded to intimidate them for no reason. They told me to remain in the car. I was pissed but my friends told me they were quite used to it. I really wish smart phones had been a thing at that time.

It was daylight, mid-summer and I was driving them home from work.
