"Even when we're 6'5" and visibly intoxicated [and] asleep in our car, they'll make sure we can call our friends to get us home safely." That was Alexis Ohanian's response on Tuesday to a Twitter user's call for transparency after Daunte Wright was fatally shot by a police officer while fleeing a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota: "Can my fellow white people just be honest and admit cops don't make us exit our vehicles for minor traffic infractions?" the Twitter user wrote. (Wright was pulled over for having an expired registration; officers then found there was a "gross misdemeanor warrant" for Wright's arrest.)
