Comedian Jessie Kahnweiler tried to get herself arrested to prove that white people get preferential treatment from law enforcement. She tried to sell drugs directly to police officers, who helpfully informed her that is illegal and she shouldn’t do that.
“You guys look kind of sad, I’m selling my anti-depressants,” she told two uniformed officers. “Do you guys want to buy any?” She apologizes and pretends to be confused and easily walks away.
Kahnweiler interviewed people on the street, policemen and the Los Angeles mayor about white privilege. One police officer told her he didn’t even understand what white privilege was and says if people don’t want to get arrested they should “just abide by the law.”
Watch as the comedian hugs L.A. police chief Charlie Beck, dances naked in the street, and propositions mayor Eric Garcetti — all while getting off scot-free.
