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

1 point·jeeshan··3 comments

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?

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.
