It is not unusual for a thug to shoot and kill a black man who is driving a car, then claim, falsely, that the car was a deadly weapon and the victim had threatened the thug's life with it.

Sometimes the thug jumps in front of the car, notices that the car is heading straight at him, and then shoots and kills the driver. How easy it is to turn any driver into a deadly threat that you simply must shoot.

This explains why it is very helpful to adopt a policy that thugs should not stop a car for a minor traffic violation.

The article linked to at the start of this note displays symbolic bigotry by capitalizing "black" but not "white". (To avoid endorsing bigotry, capitalize both words or neither one.) I object to bigotry, and normally I decline to link to articles which promote it. But I make exceptions for some articles which give important information about racism or the fight to eliminate racism. That article is one of the exceptions.
