If race is supposedly not a factor in these incidents, inverting the races of the police and civilian should produce the same response.

What is your question exactly?

The videos are anecdotes. They either represent a larger pattern or they don't. If the victim is white, they don't represent a larger pattern.

Is it possible through some sort of post production processing to have white individuals appear black and vice versa?

I'm curious how reactions change, if at all, when the situation is reversed.
