Why do police stop people for
- burnt out license plate bulb
- burnt out tail lights
- burnt out headlights
- erratic driving

.... Reaction to an external stimuli.

Why are they 'at the ready' with guns drawn, on calls involving weapons?

Profiling is done all the time. A cop working in a majority xxxxx district will arrest a majority of xxxxx. I guess the cops discriminate against xxxxx. Does that make them racists?

 

Why are they 'at the ready' with guns drawn

Well, I can give a little context to this. I'm white, 68 years old and was stopped in a little country town this summer, a local speed trap place, for going 28 in a 25 MPH zone. As the cop was walking to my car, he unsnapped his holster and partially pulled his weapon(to loosen it in the holster). The whole time he kept his had on the pistol, before returning to the car to write my ticket. Same thing as he returned with the ticket. Protect and serve my a$$.

 

Are you saying the cop is racist or just following his departments protocols?

Old white guys have been known to shoot cops.

Every descriptive human has been known to turn a routine stop upside down .... At least how the government tracks this nonsense.
