Agree racism in policing is a real and core issue. Racism in other walks of life is a real problem too, for example in journalism or social studies: i.e. when any kind of (un)ethical behavior is directly linked to 'race', either expressly or insidiously implied which was my point. The obfuscation that takes place here is that the cause of police violence is reduced down to 2 factors (race and individuals), at the expense of such things as actual racism, individual drug abuse, a propensity in police stations to pick that same sturdy officer for difficult and potentially dangerous situations, general militarization of the police, a culture steeped in violence, and a cultural tendency to see crime (any problem really) as something you solve by bombing it out of existence. Etc.
