8. If the cop was working as a security guard then how could Baker know he was a cop?

Maybe he thought he was going to be attacked by some lunatic with a gun?

Going by past history, whatever lies the cop tells will be believed. Unless there is a witness.

Shameful that a person cannot feel safe on the streets of this country if they are a minority.

Stop and Frisk despite being declared unconstitutional is still going on. So long as there are no consequences for these murders they will continue.
