( CNN ) Comedian Chris Rock made light of racial disparities in police treatment of whites and blacks with a tongue-in-cheek guide to not being beaten by the police . He encapsulated the frustration and grief caused by a New York grand jury 's decision not to indict a white police officer in the death of a black man with a simple tweet : `` This one was on film . '' Now , he 's stirring things up again with a series of tweets documenting three traffic stops in seven weeks . `` Stopped by the cops again wish me luck , '' he posted early Tuesday , along with a photo showing him behind the wheel of a car with what looks like blue police lights in the background . He posted similar photos in February . Many African-Americans have long bemoaned the phenomenon of being pulled over for no apparent reason , calling it `` driving while black . '' Blacks are about 30 % more likely to be pulled over by police than whites , according to figures reported by the Bureau of Justice Statistics in 2013 . And in amid increased conversation over race and policing after the high-profile deaths last year of Eric Garner in New York and Michael Brown in Ferguson , Missouri , the issue is even more sensitive . Rock has n't commented on the tweets and did n't say how the police stop turned out . He got lots of support on Twitter . `` My heart legit dropped , no kidding , '' one Twitter fan posted . Many praised him for documenting the stops . Some accused him of race-baiting . But one bit of advice in particular lit up social media . Actor Isaiah Washington urged Rock to `` # Adapt '' to avoid racial profiling . `` I sold my $ 90,000.00 Mercedes G500 and bought 3 Prius 's , because I got tired of being pulled over by Police , '' Washington tweeted . Some saw that as a sell-out , saying Rock should n't have to take steps others might not have to as a way to avoid being pulled over . `` Let me guess..you also make sure your pants are pulled up as well ? . '' Twitter user YeshaCallahan posted . Appearing on CNN , Washington defended the tweet , saying he wanted to `` excite a conversation . '' Years ago , Rock filmed a sketch for his `` Chris Rock '' show on HBO in which he detailed ways to avoid being beaten by police as a black man . Besides obeying the law , he suggested bringing a white friend along for the ride . He did just that last year in a segment of `` Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee '' with Jerry Seinfeld . The two chat as Seinfeld drives an orange Lamborghini . And what happened ? They get pulled over after Seinfeld goes a bit heavy on the gas . `` Here 's the crazy thing , '' Rock tells Seinfeld as the police officer stops the duo . `` If you were n't here , I 'd be scared . ''
Chris Rock posts selfies after being pulled three times in last seven weeks . `` Stopped by the cops again wish me luck , '' he posted this week .
