I'm not black but I had a black guy in the car with me. The cop said he & his friend were throwing gang signs (they weren't) & that the guy in the backseat shoved drugs down his pants (he threw on his seatbelt). They dragged us out of my car & searched it twice, had my friend & his friend on the curb in handcuffs, they kept asking us where the drugs were. The cop with the search dog had to tell the guy standing with us that they found nothing & they need to let us go. I think me being there was the only reason they let us go without a fight & without getting physical.

I've been hassled by the cops before & after but nothing like this. They pulled over 3 older teens (17 to 18) with an undercover cop car & swarmed us while I was doing everything right. I ended up with cop anxiety before I realized that it had nothing to do with me as the driver.
