I see some comments here along the lines of 'this is standard, nothing to do with race'
Even if that is true (And I don't know that it is), doesn't it speak to some greater cultural problem that this man was so scared for his life, being a black man questioned by police?
It's all well and good to say "I've had this happen to me, no problems", but thats dismissing the fact that this man, and many others, fear for their life whenever they interact with the police.
(I should note that I am not American, so maybe theres things I'm missing as an outsider looking in / maybe I'm way off base)
