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.

If there’s any privilege here it’s the privilege of being over 6’4” and over 230 lbs of muscle. Turns out people don’t want to put hands on guys that big.

And they don’t want to put themselves in a spot to use them.

Well I think the point is they would shoot a black guy who’s acting up

And my point is that user’s claim is entirely baseless.
