What happens when a white man breaks the same rules white supremacists use to justify police officers killing black people?

WWhenever a white supremacist says to you:

“Police officers wouldn’t have to murder black people if only black people would stop resisting and just obey the police officers.”

“Well, the black person had a gun/knife/made furtive movements, so the officers had to kill them.”

“Well, the black person was on drugs and/or behaved criminally, so police had no choice but to kill them.”

“It’s not about race! Any person of any race who behaved like that black person would have to be be killed by cops! You don’t understand what it’s like to be a police officer and have to make split second decisions! It’s you or them!”

“But the cops feared for their lives! It had nothing to do with race!”

“The jury knows the cops are the good guys, so it makes sense that the juries side with the cops and not the victim. It’s not a race thing!”

Point them to the story of a white/white-appearing dudebro named Jared Steven Leone of Beaverton, Oregon.
