Imagine if Crispus Attucks was shot and killed by police in Boston in 2015.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crispus_AttucksHe wouldn't be an American hero. He's be a half-black, half-Indian "thug" who shouldn't have been using verbal threats and throwing objects at law enforcement. His record, education, etc would be mocked on the message boards. Memes with "Hero" would attach to the redcoats that shot him, and Rush Limbaugh would be asking why Crispus couldn't just follow the damn law. Of course, the redcoats would initially claim he was killed as a result of Indian gang gang violence, and cell phone video would be needed to show the truth, days later. The redcoat shooters would retire from the military with a $1.44 million retirement package due to mental duress. There would be 2 nights of tomfoolery as people vented their anger.
Who knows... hundreds of years from now, people might look at events of today, and see things VERY differently than we do.
