African American Country Singer Coffey Anderson’s Traffic-Stop Etiquette Video Goes Viral

Some of the video’s 32,000 Facebook commenters have criticized Anderson – a black country artist recognizable to many as a top 12 finalist on the 2008 season of Nashville Star – arguing that he is encouraging fear and docility, or that he is putting the onus on the driver rather than on the officer in a traffic-stop situation. This is about going home,” Anderson explains in the clip.
