>if she was rich that would not have happened.

This is probably true. More specifically if the police knew she was rich.

>if she was white that would not have happened.

I dunno, I watch a lot of videos where cops behave badly, so much so I had to stop watching them because it was affecting my mood. There's plenty of white people who get treated like crap. It happens to everybody because it's not about race, it's about class. Here's a white guy getting tazed because he didn't comply fast enough. He didn't comply fast enough because he was deaf.
