A lot of the imagery we're seeing in response to this is a picture of the black teens on the ground with the cop waving his gun around, next to an image of the bikers after the shooting where 9 people died just sitting upright, some on their phones, no cops paying much attention to them. That's what is making this such a huge deal for a lot of people is they see this difference in how actual white criminals involved in a shootout are being treated in comparison to black teens that were apparently just being a little rowdy.
