White Privilege on parade

"The defendant rolled down the window and said 'I know why you stopped me.' The defendant then made reference to the events in Ferguson, Missouri," according to the criminal complaint.

Joseph Parker, 34, in a wild rant, threatened to kill police, then pounced, police said. He punched 57-year-old Lt. Jeremian Goodwin, knocking him out.

From the overnight scene to lockup, Parker allegedly injured seven officers. The police chief says the man battled, nearly breaking the metal detector.

More white privilege.

Wait a minute, I've seen cops dogpile on top of 300 pound men. How does this guy stay so aloof and keep his footing while fighting 7 cops?

Again, where were the police canines and tazers?
