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.
