47. That's ridiculous.

He would have been arrested and probably not gunned down in the parking lot. Let’s not muddy the waters of this unjustified killing by amping up the hyperbole.

A frat boy would have been arrested for DUI. If he fought back he would have been manhandled and arrested.

It is unlikely he would have been murdered for resisting arrest.

He would NOT have been given a ride home with a stop for a milkshake.
