I’ve been arrested for resisting/interfering with arrest (because they had nothing else to get me on) because I used my words to advise someone else being arrested that their rights are being violated.
I know my dude, I’m with you and 100% it could go terribly other places.
Your arguments about what could happen to other folks are perfectly cromulent HOWEVER as much as your arguments fit with my worldview it doesn’t mean this guy was let off especially easy.
I do wish he’d gotten a taste of what the rest of us and especially those of color have to face however.
I agree with you wholeheartedly deeply in my core, emotionally I’m on the same page as you.
