Again, I don't think it is a situation where there was a racial animus.

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.

(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.)

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