The onus does seem to have shifted in some respects instead of subdue and disarm to shoot to kill no questions asked... Is this democratic?

you used the key word there... it "seems" that way, because of the press. the press knows they can exploit any race related issue to get more viewers. just like with trayvon martin, they made a huge stink, rile people up[, then when it finally goes to court, we find out the facts, that actually george zimmerman was defending himself, and trayvon was the one that attacked.

The Media have an agenda, and that is for more viewers, even the BBC. So they create sensationalist stories that will rile up the public with no mind paid to the context or the reality at all.

Do the police make mistakes? yes, are there bad cops? yes. But the media takes it further, saying all cops are bad, and that even the entire society is racist. It's bull**** sensationalism to get more viewers, and after they've stirred everyone up, then they get to get even more viewers by covering the resulting riots and protests. The left wing media is just as manipulative and disingenuous as the right wing media.
