Jesse Williams: We know that police somehow manage to de-escalate, disarm and not kill white people everyday.NOT ABOUT RACE? White Guy Stabs Wife and Child, Crashes Car Into Gas Pump, Causing Massive Explosion, Attacks Cop and STILL Isnt Shot

This is all on video, so I never want anybody to say that a cop cant take an unarmed black man alive.
How far will white privilege get you in this world?
Dramatic new video shows the Long Island man accused of killing his wife and injuring his daughter crashing into a car at a Brooklyn gas station and then charging a police officer who had his gun drawn.
Robert Crumb, 44, allegedly stabbed his wife to death and wounded his 16-year-old daughter at their Bethpage home before driving away in blue Hyundai Sonata.
That Sonata is seen in the video, slamming into another car at the Citgo gas station at Flatlands and Pennsylvania avenues at around 1 a.m.
The car bursts into flames, and Crumb comes out with his hands up, as the pistol-wielding officer approaches.
He then runs after the cop, who is helped by other officers who subdue him.

Recommended. There must be "something" to explain why the police reacted as they did.

That white guy did at least three things, that would have gotten a POC killed.

If only we could figure out what that something is.
