7/22/22, 4:55 PMPolice stops of Black people often filled with
fear, anxiety - Breitbart
Page 3 of 10https://www.breitbart.com/news/experts-black-
people-cops-can-be-anxious-during-encounters/
For a number of Black men and women, resisting arrest during
encounters with police for
minor traffic stops have been deadly. Experts say anxiety levels
of the people stopped and
even the officers involved can be high, adding to the tension.
George Floyd’s 2020 slaying by Minneapolis police Officer
Derek Chauvin, the 2014
strangulation death of Eric Garner by a New York City officer
and the shooting death of
Michael Brown that same year by an officer in Ferguson,
Missouri, are among high-profile
encounters that proved deadly for Black men.
A store employee called police, saying Floyd allegedly tried to
pass a counterfeit $20 bill.
Police stopped Garner on suspicion of selling untaxed
cigarettes. An officer confronted
Brown and a companion as they walked to Brown’s home from a
convenience store. Brown
was shot after scuffling with the officer. All three men were
unarmed.
26. “Because of the way police are commonly portrayed, there can
be anxiety for young men of
color when they are pulled over,” said Jason Johnson, president
of the Law Enforcement
Legal Defense Fund. “‘Am I going to get a ticket? Am I going
to get arrested?’ They may
believe they are going to be a victim of abuse. Many times they
enter into these
interactions thinking they are going to be a victim of brutality.”
In 2015, a white police officer in Columbia, South Carolina,
pulled over Walter Scott, a 50-
year-old Black man, for a broken brake light. A bystander’s
video captured the two
tumbling to the ground after the officer hit Scott with a Taser.
The officer then shot Scott
as he tried to run.

In Lyoya’s case, some — including his family and their high-
profile attorney, Ben Crump —
have said the 26-year-old Congolese refugee was slain for
having a license plate that did
not belong to the vehicle. While that’s why the officer stopped
Lyoya, Johnson said, that’s
not why Lyoya was killed.
“It’s one of the disconnects or misunderstandings between the
police and the public,”
Johnson said. “If you look a little bit deeper, that’s not what
happened. (Lyoya) had a
number of opportunities to comply with the officer’s directions.
This use of deadly force
had nothing to do with a traffic violation and everything to do
with (Lyoya) actively
resisting arrest.”
Lyoya’s actions led “down the path that ultimately ended in
deadly force,” Johnson added.
Grand Rapids police on Wednesday released video of the April
4 stop, including from the
officer’s vehicle and body camera, from a bystander’s cellphone
and from a doorbell
camera. The videos show the brief foot chase and a struggle as
the white officer repeatedly
tells Lyoya to stop. At one point, Lyoya has his hand on the
officer’s stun gun, and the
34. officer yells at him to let go.

The struggle ended when the officer shot Lyoya in the head as
Lyoya was facedown, with
the officer straddling him.
Scott Roberts, senior director of criminal justice and democracy
campaigns at Color of
Change, a national racial justice organization, said officers ar e
often fearful given the
dangers involved with making stops. But that doesn’t negate
that Black motorists suffer for
showing or expressing their justified fears in traffic stops, he
said.
“Looking at police culture, there is just this pushback on the
notion that policing is rooted
in white supremacy and has been a tool of white supremacy,”
Roberts said. “And so there
is a kind of denial of why Black people would have that fear.
You’ve already criminalized
the person when you’re making a pre-textual stop. Your
assumption is going to be that this
is only a confirmation of their guilt, that fear.”
Roberts added that these dynamics have increasingly led cities,
48. prosecutors and police to
enact policies that deemphasize or end stops for minor
infractions.
Skin color and experiences could skew how all parties interpret
interactions and
confrontations between Black Americans and white officers,
said Paul Bergman, professor
emeritus of law at UCLA.
“Cultural narratives may lead white officers as well as Black
officers to anticipate trouble
when the person they are stopping is Black,” he said.
In Lyoya’s case, “was he more likely to be pulled over because
he was Black?” Bergman
asked. “If he wasn’t Black, would this be more of a minor
infraction and would the police
officer think he had better things to do?”

65. “Maybe he’s thinking to just escape a situation that’s
threatening,” Bergman added.
“Lawfully, you’re expected to comply with lawful demands. The
place to argue if you think
it’s unlawful is later. We’re expected to fight those arguments
out in courts and not in the
street.”
Amara Enyia, policy and research manager for the Movement
for Black Lives, a coalition
of more than 150 Black-led organizations, said the fear that
Black motorists feel is rooted
in generations of adversarial relations with police.
When stops for license plates, broken taillights or improper lane
changes turn into violent
arrests or fatal encounters, departments turn to old solutions,
such as anti-bias training,
that have failed to make a difference, Enyia said.
“You just have to wonder how many billions and billions of
dollars does it take to train that
kind of bias out of someone,” she said. “Instead of making
structural changes to the entire
system, you have to rely on the benevolence, goodwill or
altruism of a police officer to stay
alive in what is otherwise a routine traffic stop.”
