That's exactly my point. It's fine to say that, knowing full well that there is absolutely no way this would ever happen. This line of thinking guarantees unequal application of the law based on neighborhood or other signifiers (in the US: ethnicity).
> They will stop and frisk and do that to me, too.
This is not true generally in the US. The way stop and frisk works is the police identify brown men and stop and frisk them. (It's worse if they happen to be in one of the "bad" areas, but in practice the main thing was they are young-looking brown men.) The stop and frisk program would have been stillborn if the NYPD were applying it evenly to people walking around New York City.
