I was taught to be respectful and cooperate with the police.

The colonists chose not to respect the authority of King George. That's how change happens. One individual standing alone against an oppressive government doesn't accomplish much, but if ten percent of the population puts up a resistance they can make a difference.

I didn’t say I wouldn’t rebel if the situation warranted it. But, I’ve always been treated fairly by the cops....my white privilege, no doubt.

I’m sure it would’ve been different with King George.
