    Commentary below from @angela_rye ・・・ No, Jeffrey Epstein. You were actually treated like a white person. You weren’t tased or shot for resisting arrest. BUT you saying “you’re treating me like a f—cking Black person” speaks volumes.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1030485470122270720 …

    Watch this and wait for the punchline. He said, in shock and desperation “You’re treating me like a fucking Black person.” Think on that for a moment. With all of this going on, that’s what came to his mind. Police brutality, to him, is something reserved for Black folk. pic.twitter.com/3Wp1bzJPSN

        Proof (that we didn't need) that they KNOW very well about the discrimination and abuse happening to POC at the hands of the police, particularly black people, and they don't care because it isn't happening to them/until it happens to them.

        He was narrating his own "injustice" while young men in the street don't get a chance at a breath. black children are assaulted on sight. These officers were barely doing anything

        The infuriating part is he IS resisting arrest and the cops are doing EVERYTHING to subdue him but SHOOT! Which speaks volumes that they make deliberate choices to Shoot and kill Black people!

        This was the sloppiest use of force I've seen but the police are quick to use absolute force on everyone else of color or ethnicity

        I watched this video twice with the sound off, knowing what he said, because I could not bear to hear him actually say it out loud. That’s how much this disgusts me.

        I thought he was Indian but I see he's Jewish by his name. Yes. He really was supposed to be tasered, beat down, stomped on until some teeth fell out and black eye. That's what cops do to Black men. And he should have been shot but mistaken for a taser like they did OSCAR GRANT

        This is proving the opposite of what you think it’s proving.

        Heard that... It does exist, but its not something I'm gonna try to explain because your privilege blinds you from seeing it.

        I didn’t say that privilege doesn’t exist. There are millions of ways that it does and for dif people and dif circumstances at dif times. This dude is expecting to be treated dif for resisting arrest cause he’s not black. That’s not how it works.
