It's a shame that black people can't even move into good areas without harassment!
Luckily these weren't hyper aggressive cops.
Just a tip. Don't ever open your door. If you do and the cop sticks their foot in the door your stuck with no way to kick them out.
If you attempt to close the door with their foot there they will say it's assault and arrest you and just search your house secondary to that arrest.
Let them talk to you through the door. If they had a warrant or could get one they would do so and just kick the door down.
If they are standing outside talking and asking you to open the door then don't do it. They can hear you through the door and talk perfectly fine.
No matter what they say or how much they try to intimidate you don't open the door.
If they say they have a warrant ask then to hold it up to the peep hole and you'll open the door. If they don't show it then the door stays closed.
My house is gated all the way around. They can only walk to the front door.
If they even open the back gate it becomes an illegal search and I can sue.
Another tip I'd advise is when buying a house talk to the neighbors if you can. Get to know the area to rule out severe racism.
The second house I purchased ended up being in a very racist area. Luckily I sold it and got out of that area.
When I bought my third and the one I'm in I was able to chat with all my neighbors ahead of the purchase. Three of them were fellow veterans. The other was an older guy close to retirement. The last. There were 3 black families on the street. They all told me everyone was cool and gave them no issues.
Know your rights. Know where you are going to live.
Unfortunately for black people these few things are a matter of life and death.
