I was thinking the same thing.
I was driving on MLK blvd, Houston on a Friday night a few years ago and got pulled over by a white cop. He pulled me over because I was a white female (he told me that). When I admitted I didn’t know much about the area at the time, b/c I had not lived in Houston long, he told me to get out of there and if I didn’t, he would follow me and find a reason to pull me over and take me to jail, lol. He said you’ll be safer there than here. I got his point and got out. I really appreciated his blunt non pc honesty also.
“I was thinking the same thing.”
That white policeman did you a favor. There are parts of Houston that I would not dare travel in broad daylight with a police escort! MLK Blvd. is one of them! ;-)
