I'm usually pretty pro-cop, but c'mon - expecting them to know a little more about what it is they're looking for is hardly asking too much.
Should they really just be driving around and pulling guns on every black corvette tooling around town? It's not like a black 'vette is the most uncommon thing in the world.
A brief detention and license check I have no problem with. But stopping traffic and using several cruisers and cops w/ guns drawn just because you saw a black vette is wholly unreasonable. That situation was one skittish cop away from getting somebody needlessly shot all because a local Sheriff decided to go all commando without any significant fact checking.
That was a needlessly explosive situation. In that kind of environment it would not have taken much to get someone hurt badly. All because a guy was driving a fairly common car?
Nope, not gonna defend that one.
