1. The answer, of course, is not to shoot white suspects, but to stop shooting black ones.

The police are not supposed to be the judge, jury and executioner in any case.

5. Hutchinson is a small town

It is not the Twin Cities. Police in small towns have closer ties to their community and do not automatically respond to everything guns blazing in fits of ‘roid rage fueled racism. It is not reasonable to compare that with what has been happening in the Twin Cities.

Comparing this incident with the recent Twin Cities tragedy is not evidence of disparate treatment.Hutchinson has a completely different policing model than the Metro forces.
