How are the police allowed to do this?

Here's the story on ESPN Big Scary Black Dude Tasered

The real story is Weary, a pro football player, was pulled over for being black and driving an Impala.

According to the article police were on alert for criminal activity. According to police, Weary looked "very suspicious". He looked at police several times. This also seemed suspicious. They noticed that Weary did not have a front license plate so they pulled him over. Weary wants to know why he's being pulled over; the police won't say and things escalate from there. He was tasered and hauled off to jail. So far no bail and no charges.

This just seems incredibly effed up that the cops could do this.
