> Honestly, the most racist person that I've ever encountered in my life joined the US Customs & Border Patrol 16 years ago and last I heard he was still there. It is scary to hear these things. Like a black truck driver who got pulled over who said he had stuff in the back that he had to deliver in so many hours and that he had a job to do and the officer allegedly replied the driver wouldn't have a job by the time the officer is done. What is really screwed up is people assume that just because I put on a uniform or a badge, I am now somehow perfect and incapable of bias. No, that is obviously not true. We all have biases we need to be aware of and actively work to mitigate. The funny thing is it doesn't even have to be about race. It could be that someone has a personal/departmental vendetta against you. Now every time you go to work they could pull you over and (I assume legally) ask you questions bla bla making you so much late every time. What are you going to do? What is your employer going to do except let you go? Who will believe you?
