Everybody has at one time or another been pulled over by an obnoxious cop and ticketed for being five miles over the speed limit. It's happened several times to me.
Years ago, I turned right at a stop light, something you can do if the coast is clear. A black cop pulled me over and made me get out of the car and stand there. It was the middle of the day and cars were streaming by.
He lectured me about the danger and the accidents he'd seen. He then let me go without a ticket.
It may be that he was just warning me for my own good, or he may have wanted to dress down a white man in front of other people. I respectfully accepted his warning.
Now, what if I had jumped on him with both fists? He would have been within his rights to shoot me.

As it was, I went on about my business.
