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.

As long as you concede that this is true for black, brown, asian, mauve, plaid, ecru, violet, etc., cops, maybe I'll concede this is at least a subconscious factor.
Having said that, how are we going to eliminate subconscious bias against blacks that is certainly present in some blacks, yet not all whites?
