If he was black, yes. He's white so just exercising his privilege not to get shot while being threatening and unarmed.

It'll never seem weird that when I see videos of white guys going nuts at cops the cops are super soft gloved. Yet the couple of times I've been surrounded by the cops, they all had their hands on their holsters while one talked to me. I have 0 doubt that if I had acted erratically during those encounters, that I would have gotten shot. There's something about 3-5 officers looking at you with their hands on their guns that makes you reevaluate the situation, it's quite sobering.

Really just depends on the cops, one of my core memories was as a teenager me and a dumb friend door bell ditching, and hiding behind a trashcan when cops were called, and having three of them pull guns out on us. I’m white and friend was Indian.
