The child was white, the cops were black - that makes a difference

Two things about this case.
First - if the two cops acted as described by the state police regarding the body camera recordings, I hope that they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Second - and this comes from my knowledge on how things work in Louisiana - I really wonder if the roles of the victim and accused were reversed - ie two white cops killing a 6-year black child and critically injuring his father - if there would have been an arrest within two days’ time, or would there been the usual “blame the victim” game that we have seen played out so many times in the past year.
