[b]Now imagine if a WHITE bystander had intervened. Maybe stepping in to hold Newley’s arms[/b] so the Marine would feel safe relenting. Or perhaps striking the Marine to get him to break the chokehold.

That would be an affront to White solidarity. A betrayal of the bargain that if you let the protector use deadly force against a black “threat”, the protector won’t turn in fury on you.

Because that Marine or the arriving police most certainly would have turned on you White person if you had intervened against a white hero to save a Black man. And you would rightfully be desperate to save your own life against their rage, their retribution for your betrayal.

So no, people were not going to be intervening to save Neely from the chokehold. And I highly doubt the Marine will be convicted for anything arising from his actions.

It looked to me from the video that the guy who stepped in to help hold Neely's arms down was black. [/quote]
