It doesn't help the situation to start out by copping the attitude "jerk" when you admit you are speeding. It can only go downhill from there.

Bullbiden. If you resist arrest and fight to escape, you can expect to be shot
If you cooperate and accept the ticket, nothing is going to happen to you.
Well A queen is a queen .

Wrong, wrong. privilege is respect. You get it by, paying taxes, feeding your family with money you earned by having a full time job, supporting your family and having never been arrested. That is the difference.
Semper Fi

Exactly. Respect. That's what should go through your mind when a police officer stops you. Show him/her respect, do what he/she asks of you, and you will be on your way a lot faster than if you act otherwise.
If you were speeding ....you were speeding. If you are old enough to drive you should be smart enough to know you can get stopped if you speed! Just stay in the car. Keep your hands on the wheel. Be HONEST and respectful and remember you are not smarter than the guy who's job it is to ticket you if you speed! You sound like a JERK! I'd give you a ticket just for your attitude!
My husband is a black man. We both have been pulled over for speeding. I got a ticket, (deserved it). He deserved a ticket too, but he got a warning! We were both respectful.....but I think that's R****T.....don't you?? Bet I got a ticket just because I'm white!! Course, both cops were white too, so who knows! Nobody ever had one thought about "this is how I'll die!"

So once again you seem to be jumping the gun and making a judgement, before the facts are known. Do you believe the r**ts are justified ?

Never once have I thought that "This is how I'll die".
More than once, I have thought, "I am NOT going to die like THIS, and prevailed!
It is largely a matter of MINDSET

The opposite is thinking like an i***t. Get pulled over do as your told. Got a problem with why you got pulled over take it to court, not the grave. All you and those like you live for is to be a perpetual, whining victim. Grow up.

Even if I had committed murder and was arrested I would not behave in a manner to get shot, unless I wanted suicide by cops, like so many murderers do.
