Jason Sanford is a white actor. His account of life in Los Angeles differs dramatically from most of the perspectives presented by people of color whom Smith interviews. Sanford enjoyed a privileged upbringing in Santa Barbara, and his experiences with law enforcement have been overwhelmingly positive. He recalls being arrested in Santa Barbara and talking about tennis with the officers who drove him away from the scene in their patrol car, demonstrating how the police do not dehumanize privileged white people like Sanford the way they dehumanize Black people.
