Christian Barmore Alleges Racism in Police Stop

New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore accused Providence police of racism after being pulled over for traffic violations, including driving an unregistered vehicle with expired registration. Barmore expressed his frustration on social media, calling the police interaction 'racism at its finest.' The Providence Police Department stated that the officers acted in compliance with protocols and encouraged Barmore to discuss his concerns directly with them. During the stop, police alleged Barmore acted aggressively and attempted to conceal an item, leading to a search that uncovered substances believed to be marijuana. The incident has drawn attention to past racial allegations against the department, while the Patriots organization has acknowledged the situation without elaborating further. Barmore's traffic stop is the latest in a series of legal issues involving Patriots players this season.
