I keep thinking about what might have happened to me, a white woman, if I had fallen asleep at a drive-through line at Wendy’s. I think it’s reasonable to assume that given the seriousness of the offense I might have gotten...a ticket.

Nothing would've happened, because I assume that you're quite calm, accomodating and willing to listen to the police rather than reaching for their stun gun, driving carelessly, attacking police cars/the police and acting in a barbaric manner. Doubt you'd be on drugs either.

I would’ve had a reason to assume that I had a good chance of being treated respectfully, while at this point a young black man unfortunately has reason to panic. “Driving carelessly & attacking police cars??”And the barbaric behavior here was on the part of those who killed him.

As mentioned, several factors led to the person being arrested and neutralized. He wasn't an innocent person randomly being 'harassed by cops with bad intentions', that's a fabricated and straight up incorrect narrative. Please analyse situations based on the information.

You should watch the video of the encounter. It was calm until he failed a breathalyzer, resisted arrest, fought and punched the cops several times. But yeah, barbaric behavior was the cops
