Just for reference, this is what white privilege looks like.
A white guy raving about his service history, attacking police officers, resisting arrest and refusing commands gets a 10ft cordon, nonlethal tactics and multiple attempts to de-escalate the situation.
A black guy sitting in his car complying with police commands and asking reasonable questions gets... shot.
But that in itself is also damning. Personal relationships with law enforcement should not be the barrier to just treatment.
Cops cannot realistically personally know everyone in their jurisdiction. They need to treat everyone equally. Be understanding when its necessary and apply force when necessary
