   @StillIRise1963 way back in the 90s I was with a Black coworker, and I can't even remember why, I -think- a key fob had been acting wonky,, but a cop pulls up asking what's going on, and she goes into quiet freak out mode. We are BOTH social worker types. That stuck.

   Another thing: I had heard of driving while Black before, but when she told me she'd been pulled over at a particular check point on the way into work 1/2 dozen times in 1 year, and I'd been pulled over once, I finally got it.

     All my life, my immediate reaction to seeing police has been FEAR, NEVER COMFORT.
