I don’t think he could have done anything differently and been assured of a different result. You could have ended up just like him with your plan of action, assuming you were also black.
That’s why I say that there’s no point in talking with the police. All talking does is give the state fuel to get a conviction and help get the cop’s heart up to violate your rights because now you’re challenging him and in his mind he is infallible. If a police officer has made up his mind to arrest you for something, that’s it, you’re getting arrested and it doesn’t matter what the law actually says.
