I appreciate this vlog, thank you. The system is at fault. Should be a better hiring process for officers and better training. Went through something similar to you and I totally understand the frustration of being profiled. I hope for a better future for all of us where we are all accepted as humans and not shades of color. Live and let live, love and let love.
Thanks for the honesty in your encounter with the trooper. I am a Chinese-American (both my parents were born in Southern China, but I was born in the US) with a dark tan due to frequent tennis playing. People often mistake me as Hispanic or another Asian group, but "different", and I have been pulled out of airport lines for additional checks because I am a person of color and have a pony tail. I admire your control of your temper because this could have escalated very quickly and you could have ended up in jail. It is obvious that the trooper was profiling you as some sort of criminal. I also have experienced discrimination, sometimes in subtle forms and others not so subtle, all my life. I have been the stereotypical Asian, never complaining or pushing back. Something is very wrong when someone is just driving down the road and gets pulled over because of the color of his/her skin or hairstyle or any other perceived "difference". Discrimination exists, it is everywhere and we must all speak out against it. You have encouraged me now to be less passive in my own personal experiences or when I see abuse in others. I am planning some road trips soon so thank you for the heads up. Wishing you better times down the road.
Thank you for sharing Larry. I'm glad that at least one more person is going to speak up and say something. I got your back and glad that you are a person out there that understands and has mine!
that last story was crazy we have enough cameras but yet there can be places in America with even less accountability and more better angles for them too
OMG, thank you for that! I'm totally not trying to cause problems or have an agenda, just trying to point out something that happens a lot and leads to bad outcomes for everyone. Seeing what that post said, regarding his father also being a trooper, and it makes it more alarming that targeting people like he did is probably a "tradition" that seems so normal and is passed down.

Thanks for listening. I really appreciate it and I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with the same. I have hope things will get better.

So sorry this happens to anybody in this day and age. I never look at color or race and don't understand why people do.
you are telling the truth Brother! Awesome video keep up the good work!
Much appreciated
As a white dude, I've have some horrible interactions with jerk cops. "You wearing perfume boy?!" Ugh
