Listen to a young gentleman’s comments after being stopped by a white police officer in South Carolina, days after the tragic Walter Scott shooting in Charleston.
The manner in which Will Stark, a 22 year old former Army National Guardsman, conducted himself demonstrates that civility between citizens and police officers plays an enormous factor in how an encounter unfolds.
Stark recorded a short video about his experience moments after his traffic stop and posted it on his Facebook page in the hopes that it will change some opinions. In it, he explains the incident, and the behavior of both himself and the officer.
“The point of this is to say that I am an African-American male, this gentleman was Caucasian. There were no problems. He did his job, I did what I was supposed to do, and that was it,’ he says.”
“I feel like people need to understand that not all officers are crooked, not all officers are racist, bad people, and not all people who get shot or Tasered or arrested by officers are innocent victims.”
“Just because you’re black doesn’t mean you’re a victim, just because you’re white doesn’t mean you’re a racist, just because you’re a cop doesn’t mean you’re a bad person.”
“This world really needs to stop putting labels on people and things and see them as who they are: people doing things. Ignorance has no color. God doesn’t see color. Why should we?”
Instead of acting irrationally, as a perceived victim of a white racist cop, Stark conducts himself in a commendable manner, and is treated with respect. No protestations. No cries of racism.
Al Sharpton and Eric Holder could learn something from this young man. But that wouldn’t serve their goals of fomenting racial division, an industry they have built into their own powerful empires.
Kudo’s to Mr. Stark. You are an inspiration to us all. Please view the video for yourself below:
