Put on your thinking cap for a minute. Did you notice how the two responses are from officers in totally different uniforms.
Different departments all have different rules, procedures and SOP's for how to respond to armed call. Comparing responses from two totally different agencies is like sending the two people to different restaurants and saying because they were given different menus and served different food it must be racist.
I could take two white people and cherry pick what departments jurisdiction I filmed them in and make the exact same video.
I could also manipulate the response in the same jurisdiction by making different calls to report it. I can call in one and say the person is just walking with a gun and get one response and do another where I call and say he is pointing the gun and screaming at people and get a totally different response, no matter what race.
In short, coming from two different agencies and with no context as to how the calls were made to report them this video is 100% worthless to try and claim bias exists. It's only value to use the obviously set up video to convince people not intelligent enough to spot the obvious cherry picking of jurisdictions or use critical thinking skills to see it's crap that what they are already convinced exists is real.
