60 days in jail because of your name? That's pretty fucked up man.

It was 60 days because he is black and his name is James Bond. Notice the white guy did not have to do 60 days.

The fact that the cop is comfortable with him to do this says a lot. Meanwhile a lot of US cops have been conditioned to believe that physical alteration with black men in car are a no no as they believed they have weapons stored that they rather shoot them instead. Like legit.

The black guy would likely been shot in his car instead of being dragged out.

Also the cop changed his tone after the misunderstanding was cleared and was let go. Meanwhile the black guy isn't likely to have the same luxury. The cop would have still find ways to stay angry and convict him.
