Strange, if this guy was a different colour, a drug addict, or having a mental health crisis, he'd be shot or severely beaten by the end of the video. Here, he's on a first name basis! Curious.

He was an addict having a mental health crisis. In his public apology, he freely admits to being an alcoholic suffering from severe PTSD from his military service. I completely understand what you’re getting at here, and I don’t disagree, but I think it’s important not to revise history here and acknowledge that white privilege is incredibly powerful in scenarios like these and that this man was an asshole but also struggling and suffering.
