I'm interested to see how this plays out. We have someone threatening violence - Will police go in with guns blazing, threatening to put a cap in his head? Will they think he had a weapon, fear for their life and had to shoot? Hmmm. Or maybe thats just unarmed, non threatening black folks that they "just thought" had a weapon or were threatening.

Ahh, white privilege at play. Only white folks can get away with this shit.
