This opinion piece misses an important fact that should be checked and assumes too much.  Check to see how many people are pulled over and how many are black by these officers and by the police in that area based on percentages.  Numbers won't lie. 

Something could be legal yet still be racist.  Just like jaywalking.  Sure it is illegal.  But if they only ticket blacks in some towns and not whites the bias is clear.  This is a small reflection of what a minority deals with.
