Before I made the original posting on this subject, I saw the video many times- it was all over the news for a few days. The man spun around fast and put his arms etc. into his truck where the Trooper couldn't see what he was doing. I think the fact that the driver is black had nothing to do with it. When I moved down here I had NY plates on my car 2 years and never had any problems. You just don't cop an attitude when you get pulled over and that goes for NY too. By the way we had an Italian mayor here for several terms, and it always amazed me to hear an Italian with a deep Southern accent
