Ask HN: Is it possible to invert the races on police shooting videos?

[jeeshan]

If race is supposedly not a factor in these incidents, inverting the races of the police and civilian should produce the same response.

The videos are anecdotes. They either represent a larger pattern or they don't. If the victim is white, they don't represent a larger pattern.

What is your question exactly?

[jeeshan]

Is it possible through some sort of post production processing to have white individuals appear black and vice versa?

I'm curious how reactions change, if at all, when the situation is reversed.
