It says she was old. It didn't say she was a person of color. How many old white lady's out here getting shot dead by the police?

Why do we assume that a description that's just "old lady" has to be white? It makes it sound like the default description of anyone is white, and that we have to clarify if they're not.

Besides, what white lady would have this level of gumption?

People of color don't usually behave like this with police. Years of poc being murdered and qualified immunity.
