The problem in the current discussion is all the reverse racism that makes people side with the black guy by default.

Maybe we should just move on to another topic and call this one a tie, because I am feeling generous.

Literally nobody is doing that. You just assume that's the case becuase, as usual, that's your narrative. You don't WANT to believe systemic racism is an issue so you disregard any evidence of it while justifying it where you can't. This is a pretty clear example of improper handling of a potentially dangerous situation and yet you still have people bending over backwards to justify why shooting this man was appropriate while acting like his race was only relevant to the opposition (To you, they're using it as a defense, while disregarding the potential notion that the cop was using it as an excuse to shoot). you can't just assume one or the other. That's a pretty perfect example of 'moving the goalposts' in regards to your use of a logical fallacy. 

You can't say that Libs or Democrats or hippies or whatever are using 'he's black' as an excuse to justify the man's behaviour while also completely disregarding the potentially very real excuse of 'he's black' as the reason he was shot. THAT is why systemic racism IS such a pervasive problem in America. People like you being disingenuous in order to justify racism by reversing what other people say into an argument for your side.
