I really enjoyed the movie.Since I'm fully entertained I'm gonna rate it by 8 points.The film has great thrill throughout with almost no complicated sequence except what I have asked.When being chased by police,at last Jack left the car running and got to the bus-stop.The guy with hat(or cap whatever,I don't know the difference) gave him his hat to hide his face.Even other people were also getting the thing was that Jack is suspect,its not possible for them to know that he's innocent.So why they had not helped cops and helped Jack?

It is because they recognized he was Tom Cruise and who wouldn't help Tom Cruise? duh!

The other shorter white/Hispanic guy helped him also by moving in front of him

This may be my attempting to understand Hollywood writers, but with the guy's skin colour and age, I got the impression that maybe he'd been arrested for a crime he didn't commit, and saw in Reacher someone like himself.
But again, I'm playing mind-games with executive writers I haven't met, so I'm only guessing based on trends I've seen in other movies.

That was clearly meant to be a joke. Black guys not trusting the cops, knowing what it means to be chased by the police even though you're innocent.
