I am white and of course I taught my kids how to behave around police, especially when they reached driving age. It is a basic parental responsibility as far as I’m concerned.
I taught them to always be respectful, keep hands visible when pulled over, no sudden moves, etc., explaining that police are always nervous at traffic stops that the person might be armed etc.
I also taught them not to consent to a search of the vehicle under any circumstances, and told them about the outrageous asset seizure/forfeiture laws in many states.
I was also pulled over once with my son in the car for having a headlight out, so he got to see exactly how I behaved, and I discussed it with him afterwards.
My parents talked to me at young age about how to behave around police. I tried to pass that on to other people growing up, especially when I got to college.

When a cop stops me, I just start by saying I will not do it again and I am sorry. I do not even care to hear what I was wrong for. Who wants to get shot or get a knee on their neck? Not me.
Interesting. I definitely don't want to get shot or a knee on my back.
