Summary:
He gave a homeless person 50 cents at a 7-11 and then drove away.
The cops saw that and stopped him, because there have been complaints that this homeless person has drugs.
The cops demand to see his car-insurance, but he hasn't got the paperwork yet.
Then the cops claim that his car smells like weed.
Next thing is he's standing in front of his car, his hands up, his back to the cops, the cops pointing guns at his back.
They yell at him to get his phone out.
He says that he doesn't feel comfortable pulling his phone out of his pocket because they might mistake it for a gun and shoot him.
He starts crying.
The cops yell at him that crying means that he's guilty of something.
More cops arrive and the sherriff takes him to the side while the cops search his car with a K9.
A cop lies about pointing a gun at him. It was a taser. Sure.
The cops take his car apart and litter his belongings everywhere. Not one trace of anything illegal.
The cops drive away without so much as an apology.
