I’m not a parent, but as a white person: the police have scared me much more than random people on the street for my entire adult life.

Agreed. As a white person and a minority in ways that can and can't be hidden, I've had the experience of interacting with cops when they think that I'm "one of them", and interacting with them when I clearly was an other.

It's a night and day difference, and I can only imagine it's much worse for those with different skin colors.
