If you're wondering what one of the best benefits is when it comes to White Privilege, the answer is Benefit of the Doubt. Had it been given to this guy, he would still be alive.

They're programmed to immediately go for the black guy. It is what it is.

How long until they start trying to dig up dirt, or assassinate the character of Roberson?

Why do we just accept that? Why do we allow for our law enforcement to be trained and programmed this way?

Not "white privilege" as cops still shoot and kill more whites per interaction than minorities.

Explain this one where the cops were informed of the perp being naked (thus making the other man...clothed...as the default homeowner). Naked black man (already killed by homeowner), clothed white man...cops still kill the white guy.

It's a case of having public policing overlap with private policing. Solution? Get rid of public policing.

They're programmed to unload their service weapon on anyone with any weapon regardless of their innocence, and probably some cops just like shooting someone if they have plausible deniability.
