What's it like to be a Black professor: Since moving to Ithaca, police have stopped me SIX times. I received two tickets for driving w/o a license (I have a valid license). One for driving an ATV on the highway (I have no ATV and probably wouldn't drive one on highway 81).

India Thusi That's awful. And also ridiculous. They called a minivan an ATV???

Megan Stevenson It was strange and not even the weirdest part of the interaction. He seemed upset that I didn’t want to argue with him, but what’s the point of arguing with an officer willing to openly lie? I just stayed calm until I became too afraid to hide my fear. Lasted about an hour.

India Thusi So creepy

Megan Stevenson India Thusi So illegal. The officer has no business wearing a badge and should be fired.
