    Hold up, police aren’t randomly pulling people over? That power hungry group of asshats are doing whatever the fuck they want. “Suspicious driving” is their go to fuck you card. Drunk driving is a problem, more unmitigated police power is not the solution.

      It’s not random. It can be malignly motivated by colorism or classism but those still aren’t random. Overreach by those who have been granted a level of power is its own problem, but until we can get a better system going, police are what we have to work with. Pointing out a problem is not enough.
