Bogus Police Brutality Claim

     In the recent months, there has been several cases of legitimate police brutality cases; however, the case involving Earledreka White is not a case of police brutality or even excessive force. The problem with her claim is simple; she was pulled over for committing an alleged traffic violation. When you are stopped by the police as a person of color, your first priority is to get home safely...This requires you to do whatever is necessary to ensure your safety....Ms. White clearly did not think nor exercise wisdom in her encounter with the police officer. This incident could have ended badly for her, but the officer show a tremendous amount of restraint in light of dealing with a person who seemed to escalate this situation. Her first mistake was getting out of the vehicle; under no circumstance, she should have exited her vehicle after being stopped by the police. She should have had her driver license and insurance on the dashboard with her hands on the steering where they can be seen. By exited the vehicle, she put the officer on alert.  Staying in the vehicle, keeps her safe and the officer safe. Even if she did not commit the alleged traffic infraction, she needed to shut her mouth and not argue with the officer about the violation. Respond by saying Yes sir and No sir. This isn't the time to argue with the police about the traffic violation.  It is much safer to take the citation from the officer and refute it in court.  Because she tried this victimization garbage, she got arrested for resisting arrest and spending two days in jail. As a result of her stupidity, she has to go to court to answer for the resisting arrest charge. Here's an excellent video on how to conduct yourself when you are pulled over by an officer.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpcxN9JsoN8
