Misunderstood. I did not wish to assert that believing that police are good is white privilege. I do wish to assert that never having had a bad experience or ever worrying about a bad experience is white privilege. You knew and expected that the police would treat you with respect. I have never had a LEO mistreat me. I have never been followed around as I shopped. I have never had a person assume I got my educational opportunities or my job only because of my skin color.
