I keep thinking about what might have happened to me, a white woman, if I had fallen asleep at a drive-through line at Wendy’s. I think it’s reasonable to assume that given the seriousness of the offense I might have gotten...a ticket.

Not if you showed a little cleavage. No offense. Just saying

The cops probably wouldn't have been called. Someone behind you would have tapped on your window and asked you to move your car out of line.

Would you have acted in the manner in which this guy did? I was taught how to act when pulled over...you?

Probably not even that, they'd ask you kindly to leave.

The key is #behaving properly. Yes, sir. No, sir. Yes, ma’am. No, ma’am. Ask if you can reach to get your ID. No sudden movements. Let the officer direct you! Teaching your son or daughter this is as important as teaching times tables, the 50 states, & learning to drive.

The cops would have ran inside to fetch you a double w cheese and a Frosty!
