I guess it's possible, but we also live in a country where Dylan Roof apparently behaved in a manner that allowed him to be taken into custody while (insert favorite unarmed black man here) behaved in a manner that police felt warranted lethal force.

I sardonically used those terms to point out the hypocrisy in pretending race plays zero role in how we interpret a person's actions. The joke is that a white male can open carry and be a patriot while a black man doing the same thing...eh...sometimes inspires gun control measures.
This video may be sensationalized for all I know, but it sums up my argument. I guess the black guy has a more "violent looking hairdo" than the white guy though, so lord knows that's a confounding variable.
