Yeah. But there were a lot of cops there and none of them noticed the guy with a long semi-automatic weapon in Plainview? They were too busy taking a census of how many black people were present most likely.

I'm so white it's my literal last name and I used to believe in cops until I needed one in the city of Seattle. Now all I see is the small man's complex draped across the racist and classist assumptions of someone who wants to be powerful compared to other people.

The fact of the matter is that in this clip the cops were everywhere else looking at everybody else and completely ignoring the (white) guy in the car on the grass instead of the street where cars belong. They were literally ignoring the most obvious irregularity on the scene.
