More cops jump in. It ends up taking seven cops two full minutes to restrain jared, and he makes it out alive. This is white privilege. If that idea bothers you, then lets just call it benefit of the doubt. Those cops give jared the benefit of the doubt that his life matters, that his life is worth saving, even when he takes one of their guns and shoots it.
