THE CRUX OF IT: What really makes one a threat to be aggressively put down?

 

 

I am ASTOUNDED!!

The civility and leeway that is accorded to this man is beyond belief considering the current climate this country is in regarding police relations.

It isn’t that these police shouldn’t be courteous and professional and reasonable, it’s simply that I’d expect them to escalate the situation and eventually violently arrest this man that was defiant, uncooperative and considered a possible threat.

That didn’t happen…Wonder why…

I imagine this man in a certain way in my mind. If I am right, is that the reason that voices were not raised and muscles were not flexed? Is that why this person could contradict the police without fear of bodily harm or a severe case of DEATH?

Is it privilege or is this man simply considered to be an equal and treated accordingly?
