Neighbor who is a white cop tells me there is no reason for anyone to be out and about at 2AM on a week day unless they are selling or buying drugs or sex. He's a cop who works shifts. There are cops on duty 24 hours. He is often out at 2AM.

Also hospital workers and some factory workers and command centers where people are monitoring something like IT systems or call centers(I've done that in the deep south before and surprised I didn't get shot yet). 24 hour drug stores and grocery stores have workers. Bars/restaurants close late and have workers. Many of which are minorities.

He also claims that the fact that people don't have drugs on them doesn't prove they're not dealing. They probably have their stash hidden nearby just in case they get caught.

Dude blatantly speeds when off duty and gets away with it by showing his badge if pulled over.

He's kind of d-bag but he knows the best bars and restaurants and seems to have been to all of them. Dude's wife is black.
