Yeah, but it happens to visible minorities more.
In the US, MUCH more. A shocking amount more. A amount that is indefensible as being anything other than racially motivated.
An amount that should be staggering the first time you hear it. Like this latest guy, who was killed after being falsely arrested. Or that other guy who got choked to death for selling individual cigarettes. Or that other guy who got shot to death by an officer that works for a police department that has 93% of their arrests being black folk.
When those cops picked you up on the side of the road to see if you had an outstanding warrant, did you end up dead? Did you end up with a criminal record? Did a cop shoot you and then plant a taser next to your body? Did they take you out into the middle of nowhere in the dead of winter, make you take off your jacket and make you walk back to town? Did they do any of those things because of the colour of your skin? No? Then I'm not sure what your anecdote is supposed to do here other than to attempt to minimize the extent that blacks and visible minorities experience abuse at the hands of law enforcement.
