Black folks here...Have you ever been pulled over for DWB? My brother-in-law has several times.

A cop here was harassing him and he complained to the police department. He received an apology.

    Dunno what DWB is but stats here reveal that black people are more likely to be stopped and searched than white :(

    Driving while black. Very common  here. For instance, in this city you can't have anythink hanging from your rear view mirror. My wiife has never been pulled over for that. My brother-in-law has.

    Yes, several times...  My Justice Department I.D. while on duty resolved the situation real fast.

    You need to watch the videos about your police on y.tube.....A policeman punched a eight month pregrent black women hard and full in the stomach and wished the child would die....it was all caught on video and yet no prison for the hero that did it to her...
    Ive had to force myself to stop watching them....There are count less hundreds of thousands of the most horrific   cases if police abuse and murders on there and it's not only black people they target....

    We see it on the news all the time and it sickens me. I hope Randy chimes in on this.

    I think it sickens any normal person....You would think all honest police officers would want it stopped to...How many come forward to stop it or give evidence against their chums...

    Not that ... but I did get "profiled" and pulled aside for a full search of my possessions and vehicle while crossing into Canada, because I was wearing an NRA hat and had pro-firearm bumper stickers.

    They asked what firearms I was bringing in.  (Not IF I was)  And I truthfully told them "none".
    Then they asked what firearms I owned, and I asked why they wanted to know since I wasn't bringing any in to their country.

    I am not black so no. 
    But I have been pulled over for driving while white. We were lost and in East St Louis. The officer us over and asked what we were doing. The black officer told us we were not safe there and gave us a police escort back to the highway.

      You would probably not believe how it is in no way the same thing. Not even close.

    I agree, it is not the same thing in my case. The officer was actually assuming we were either there for drugs or lost.
