The question was if he would have gotten the same jail time, or more, or less, if it was the exact same situation with races reversed. IOW, how much the race of the victim and the associated hoopla contributed to the punishment he actually did receive.

We will never know for sure, but the speculation would be easier and probably more accurate if we agreed on the question. It is NOT whether or not a black officer would get off scot free, although that was presented as a part of the range of possible outcomes, as was the same or more years in prison.

My personal opinion is that the case of a black officer kneeling on a white man and the white man dying would not have the same outcome without the protests and rioting that were a part of this case. JMHO.
