I had gotten in the habit of carrying my wallet in my back pocket while driving over the past few years. As a black man, I had not ever placed my wallet anywhere but my dashboard from the time I started driving, well into my upper 20’s. I’ve gotten comfortable about possible police stops, and in light of the events of the past couple of months, I feel slightly ashamed. Almost as if I had forgotten that this could happen to me or to anyone in America. My wallet has moved back to the dash as I drive, but it seems that those measures assumed to de-escalate and protect(Hands Up don’t Shoot) don’t matter anymore.
