The big difference being the cumulative nature of peoples' experiences.

Your post focused on the cumulative nature of the police experience, but completely neglected the cumulative nature of the minority's experience. Therefore I downvoted you.

I'm part of a different targeted-minority. The only times I felt it weighing on me more than as a nuisance, was when I actually had something to hide. Which shouldn't have a bearing on whether or not the police should target me or not, as long as they behave and I as a citizen don't escalate.

Edit: Grammar.
