It was a routine stop up to the time that Scott bolted. He must not have run very far or fast, since the cop was able to catch him and use his taser.

“It was a routine stop...”

And every black person who reads that will hear “...for Driving While Black” after that. And, if that isn’t suspicious enough behavior, he was driving a Mercedes! I work with fairly successful black co-workers and they drive nice cars and they tell me that they get followed and DWB’d on occasion, even though they are out the “troublemaking demographic”. Apparently, this is something that you just get used to when you are black and over 40. I have a problem with this. Everyone should have a problem with this.
