I was raised a Witness by parents whose families spent time in jail and prison. Nevertheless, despite some tension, I was told to obey the police. One can always file a civil rights complaint after the incident. Despite evolution, I was also taught to obey my teachers. The punishment at home for talking back would be far worse than punishment at school. When you stand before a judge, the judge can be very wrong but you keep your lip zipped. Lawyers don't have the resilience to go to jail for contempt. I had a cop clearly violate the law. If I could prove it, I would be far richer.
Sometimes I wonder if this country will ever heal from the remnants of slavery. Statistics prove racism in the criminal justice system.
