TL;DR:

KAG was stopped. He was calm and polite.

Then police officers started making racist assumptions because he had more non-white passengers in his vehicle than usual and one of them had enough money to purchase half an iPhone, as police do.

Then they let him go because they had nothing on him.

All I see is a big fat nothing at all.

Just a racist dogwhistle. See? The police stopped him, so he must he a bad person who doesn't deserve due process.

Funny they are able to dig up footage from three years ago, but when they empty a magazine into a man laying on the ground with his hands cuffed behind him, they can't seem to find the video.
