Is this also "white privilege"?

In this story the guy who dragged the officer wasn't white. I don't think that means that there isn't white privilege, just that maybe this particular case doesn't really show that there is...
Now. I get what you are trying for here, and largely can agree. I just don't know if this officer, dragged by the white guy, had the ability to grab his gun while being dragged by the car once his arm was stuck in the window. All things are not quite equal.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Dang! This is a real head scratcher for me too! Why didn’t the cop use deadly force on that honky when he was trapped, getting hit with a hammer, and being dragged down the street at high speed? Did anybody ever think he might have been a little occupied?

What about the Hispanic 13-year-old kid in Chicago who was shot by the cops -- with his empty hands up? Is that real enough?

how is the cop gonna taze when he's being dragged?When the officer tried to engage the suspect through the driver's side window, the suspect took off "at a high rate of speed" with the officer trapped and hanging from the window, Gifferson said. During the struggle, the suspect hit the officer in the head with a hammer
