You excuse the actions .... and explain the actions .... how do you feel about it?

So glad you brought this point up. This happens every day in cities throughout the U.S.. My adopted mix raced son, who attended the best private schools and a well known private University was continually pulled over in his teens, and when they could find nothing, was given tickets for not having a bag for trash in his vehicle. This was always thrown out in court, but we could add up over 32 tickets for this, this was after he was asked to get out of the car, the car searched and nothing found. He was pulled over for being a minority driving a BMW, no other reason. He was always respectful, but also always felt humiliated. He is now a CFO of a tech company and continues to be pulled over a few times a month, nothing found and "let go". Really, this needs to end.
