This country has horrific systemic racism, and that might very will have instigated this scenario.

On the other hand, if there’s a guy prowling between the houses of my neighborhood, even if he’s in uniform, I’m going to call the police to make sure it’s legit, and I’m going to describe him as best I can, including skin color.

The police always tell the public that they should call authorities if they aren’t sure about someone pulling you over or at the door. Until you do such things to be cautious, and suddenly you’re the bad person for not immediately obeying. Double standard.

Absolutely, it’s absurd for that guy to assume this is a racist act.

But that’s what happens when victim mentality is drilled into one so deeply that it becomes the primary component of one’s identity.

A wound that is stricken on a daily basis becomes so sore even a gentle touch hurts.

Living as a hammer that sees everything as a nail is not a virtue, it’s a flaw.
