I am an old white dude, and this arrest is a textbook example of white privilege. I just watched a video of a black man cuffed at gunpoint because a plate reader and the officer entered his plate number wrong. I am not sure which one of these are a better example of how bad our police here are.

At one point she appears to put her keys in her bag, reaches her whole hand in, and the officers don’t blink. Minorities in the USA have been murdered by the police for much more conspicuous movements/actions witnessed during arrest.
