It'd pose an interesting dilemma if the police officer were black, but it was going to be a story no matter what.
I really doubt that. Racism (at least as most of the country currently defines it) would be taken out of the story. At worst it would be a story about a bad shooting. The end. No riots (which I think are entirely the result of the justified opinion that the police force has a bad racism problem, because...)
There's something really messed up going on there. 64% black, 94% white police? Those folks need to join the 21st century, or something. No matter what happens or who is at fault that ratio is inviting racism claims. And honestly, I can't see how those claims could be wrong.

Yup.
Not an excuse for hooliganism by any means, but definitely not alleviating any wedges based on color.

This is a community in flux. I think the ratios are still off, regardless. But 20 years ago, the town was 75% white. Also, blacks should think about voting there.
