In this particular incident I think this cop was unprepared for this interaction. Whether it was training, mindset, whatever, his voice and actions in that video are those of a man that really doesn't know what just happened. Would he have had less of a hair trigger if the guy was white? No idea.
I think this is much more clearly a bad shoot than some others have been, but it also seems, to me, to also be more clearly an issue of something other than race.
