Is it a problem that the police force us nearly all white and many don't live locally? Yes, absolutely. Maybe the new Captain they brought in could help explain and resolve why more men of his character do not opt to stay and police in their own communities.
Is it still possible the cop was a racist murderer? Sure, it's possible. But holding on to that hope is something you might want to look into before you start judging others.

This "new captain" is a Missouri Highway Patrol officer i.e. state police brought in temporarily by Gov. Jay Nixon. Are you championing racial quotas in the hiring of government employees?
