Has it crossed anyone's mind what the cops would have done, had the kid been a black kid in the same situation?

Possibly nothing as here: Black people march with guns at Stone Mountain, Georgia, with greetings of Black Love & Black Power - YouTube

Actually from videos and photos I have seen many of the rioters and looters, both black and white, are armed and the police are just standing by allowing it all to happen, no doubt under orders to do so.
