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.

As are all cases like this. Outside influence is usually what makes these high profile cases to begin with. People also need to understand that the more high profile a case becomes, the slower the answers will come. Extreme caution is taken by the state in these cases, and extreme caution takes time.
