More proof that it takes a white victim for the general public to start noticing abuses that have been standard for minorities.
If we're serious about ending police abuse of power, we have to make sure they're not abusing anybody. Otherwise people inclined to abuse authority have a training ground where level up their abuse skills.
The primary change I can see is the ubiquity of cameras. Their emergence and widespread popularity after the turn of the century has brought accountability to the most corrupt and dishonest among the police force. Everyone seems to be outraged at the abuses, whether the victim is minority or not. Unfortunately I think that minorities have suffered much more significantly under the boot of these corrupt authority figures.
