It will say:
"Breath Easy"
"You are White"
Because when White People say don't break the law they are talking specifically to black people not to themselves, they all know they will never be killed for doing the same shit a black man does. The only time a white person gets killed by a cop is when they pull a weapon and point it directly at the officer.
