Could racism be an issue? Yes, it could. I don't know. This is a strange case. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information in the media. The information that is out there is confusing. Can Black police officers have the same fears in "questionable" neighborhoods that White officers have? The answer is yes. Should they have more understanding? The answer is yes. Peter N, thanks for your thoughtful comment.

Not that I am saying it is unbelievable, but is the reason necessarily racism (conscious or subconscious)? If it was an issue of racism, why would two black officers shoot at another black guy?
