That seems to be a non sequitur, nothing I said could reasonably be interpreted as a claim that civilians are trained cops.

Why are you so certain this man was shot in the back or giving up before the evidence is all in? How is it reasonable to expect a cop who has just had something in his face shattered to exercise perfect judgment (he says, presuming the injury occurred since you've said you don't give a fuck what happened at the car so we might as well go with it)?

Absolutely. In the last ten years the percentage of African Americans in that area has increased significantly without a corresponding increase in African American police officers. Some lag time is to be expected, but so is a real effort to reflect the ethnic makeup of the community.
