He's not going to be arrested by the cops. He's going to be killed by the cops.

While I agree that is a likely outcome, he has the advantage of being white. Historically, as long as the gunman got away from the scene ✅, isn't actively brandishing a weapon ❓, and is white ✅, the ~~cops~~ racist thugs with badges just arrest them, and possibly buy them McDonald's on the way to the precinct.

As someone who visually presents as much whiter than this guy, I don't like that is where we are at. I just recognize that my "natural camouflage" has allowed me to verbally berate ~~cops~~ racist thugs with badges all over this country without me even being arrested. This is just the reality of how the thugs with badges operate.
