As my heart was pounding, I turned my car off, rolled down all my windows and put both hands on the steering wheel. I. was. scared. as. shit....but not guilty of anything.
Sad day we live in.
EDIT: I have a feeling if there was no video footage, it would be officer's story vs. victims story. We know who wins that case.

Bingo. I'm white, but I have learned that when dealing with American police, you act extremely careful, no sudden moves, and explain exactly what you're planning on doing. That being said, I've had zero issues with the police since I've lived in America, whether they were black or white police officers.
I would NEVER just turn around like this man and reach into my vehicle. NEVER.
