police always do something wrong. If they didnt, people would actually like them.
For example... using the same analogy.. I saw a white male police officer run a red light... but I don't go making citizen arrests on all white police officers. It sounds to me like the officer saw your clothes, got excited, and went all Barney Fife on your ass.
If he had taken the time to calm down, he probably could have thought "hmm.. if I had just killed a cop... would I be chilling in my driveway working on my car at the moment? Or would I be bookin my ass somewhere and hiding?".
On a different note, police officers are trained to act before thinking in situations where they are in immediate danger. Having you underneath a car with a coil over in your hand does not really constitute immediate danger, if any thing: you are the one put in danger with a trigger happy po pointing a gun at you making accusations.
Remedy? I have none. Deal with it. Sadly enough these guys are given a liscense to make big mistakes, a liscense that we as citizens do not have.
