This is a shocking video:
https://www.wral.com/ace-perry-pulled-over-by-sampson-county...
+ white cop pulls over black driver (North Carolina)
+ refuses to tell him why he was stopped until he shows ID
+ asks driver questions about company name on his tee-shirt
+ expresses incredulity when driver says he works at the company
+ asks driver other irrelevant personal questions.
+ tells driver he was stopped for driving UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT (doing 65 in a 70)
+ asks driver: "wouldn't you find it suspicious if someone were doing 65 in a 70?"
+ gives driver a WRITTEN WARNING for driving 65 in a 70.
+ brushes off driver's questions saying "I've got stuff to do"

Googling about the case `"Ace Perry" Sampson` it seems no action was taken against the officer. If anyone has an "in" with the ACLU (or similar), the police dept. could use some publicity.
(Strange how some cases don't get the attention they deserve.)
(Note: in response to a now apparently deleted comment: I'm aware that some roads have minimum speed limits. I remember once seeing on a highway: max75 min40. However, 65 in a 70 is just prudence.)
Are there PR firms out there trying to set public perception?
WTF, there's zero reasons to believe this is a shill account. Looking at the commenters history it looks like a run of the mill HN account (Oh but that's just more proof of shilldom! right?)
Just because it's posting something critical to the police you jump to "shill"? Because posts critical of the police are so rare and not at all something that's been common on the internet for more than 25 years?
