Get Out Discussion (Spoilers)

So I saw this movie last night, and I really enjoyed it. There are just a couple things I wanted to discuss.
1. In the opening scene, was that Rose's brother who abducted that guy? Why wouldn't they just wait for him to come home? I assume this was just to give the audience an early scare (which I don't have an issue with).
2. Regarding Chris plugging his ears with cotton from the chair, am I missing something, or is that just a plot hole? I didn't see any way he could move his hands. Maybe he could bend down so his head was closer to his hands?
3. This may be a controversial opinion, but I sort of wish they handled things a little differently with the police officer who was demanding to see ID at the beginning. Since this movie was trying to portray racism in a different way (ex: not just using rednecks or southerners), and cops are often stereotyped as being racist, I think there may have been a missed opportunity here. I think it would have been cool to see the cop actually take a look at the ID, and then at the end, he could show up with Rod and reveal that he did it because he had previously heard rumors about black people disappearing in the neighborhood, and he was trying to collect information before Chris possibly went 'missing,' too.

Reading this while on the john. I put my hands where his were and could easily lean forward and touch my ears to them.

The brother was a loose cannon. He may have taken it upon himself to bring the guy in like that. There were two occasions where his parents thought that he was too aggressive with Chris. I doubt that the parents were down with him running around wearing a medieval knight's helmet.

He could reach, and using the cotton to bide his time until he was released was a metaphor for slavery.

The scene had two purposes. To make us think that the girlfriend was protective of Chris... and the later reveal that she had kept the cop from seeing his ID to lessen the chance of the cop remembering Chris when he became a missing person.
