I'm really curious if blacks start policing their neighbourhoods and
shooting white pedestrians whether this same defence would stand up to
scrutiny?
I am at a loss as to why this man has not been arrested.

"These assholes always get away..." ...get away with what? Buying skittles?

Here's a journalist's response , noting that regardless of what he wears
while walking down the street it's hardly likely that he will look
"suspicious". His reasoning is that it's just because he's white.

"I will never look suspicious to you. Even if I have a black hoodie, a pair
of jeans and white sneakers on...in fact, that is what I wore yesterday...I
still will never look suspicious. No matter how much the hoodie covers my
face or how baggie my jeans are, I will never look out of place to you.  I
will never watch a taxi cab pass me by to pick someone else up. I will
never witness someone clutch their purse tightly against their body as they
walk by me.  I won't have to worry about a police car following me for two
miles, so they can "run my plates."  I will never have to pay before I eat.
And I certainly will never get "stopped and frisked."  I will never look
suspicious to you, because of one thing and one thing only.  The color of
my skin.  I am white.

Should this be categorised as a hate crime? Or is it just an honest
mistake?

After all...it was a black 17 year old in a hoodie and what do you expect?
