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

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.
