He gone.
Again, I don't think it is a situation where there was a racial animus. This looks like straight up incompetent policing - they knew he was a loose cannon and brought him back on. Lots of folks are going down for that one.
(Although, again, parents - if you love your kids, you won't let them play with toy guys outside, or with toy guns with the red/orange what have you, ring to show the cops it is not a real gun.)

I think the Orange tip thing is a red herring. The kid didn't get the gun out of his waistband. It could have had a flag that said "bang" on the end of it and he'd still be dead.

I think your phraseology sort of muddies the water. I don't think it was "racial animus" either. I do, however, think it's entirely possible that a cop seeing a black guy leads much more often to "shoot quickly" than when it's a white guy. And it's entirely possible to have a system that overall has a racial bias where very few or even none of the individual participants has any actual racial hatred in their heart.

Since when? Toy guns have been a staple for decades.
