Good point.
But consider that the problem may not be so much white as it is blue. Corruption in police departments and the system(prosecutors, judges, attorneys) protecting that corruption is a bigger issue imo. Police brutality and misconduct doesn't seem to be a black/white issue.
Decent article here... http://www.slate.com/articles/news_...conduct_black_cops_don_t_reduce_violence.html
that concludes...
"But there’s a problem. For as much as police diversity has value for image and community relations, it’s not clear that it does anything to cure the problem of police abuse and brutality in black and Latino communities. Just because an officer is black, in other words, doesn't mean he’s less likely to use violence against black citizens."
Exactly. The system itself currently operates in a way that is unjust toward people of color. That's what Kap, BLM, etc. have been saying all along. That's the core argument and point.
