Really? The murder rate inside the black community is massively higher than within any other community in America. Also black people murder more white people than vice versa. If you take account of the different community sizes the disparity becomes even more extreme. If this is coming as news to you I don't know where you've been all your life.

Sorry, I mis-wrote that due to an editing mistake, and it's too late to edit the comment now.
What I meant to write was we don't see black-on-black police murders of innocent people hitting the big news and causing mass demonstations so much.

You're right we don't see them hitting the news and causing mass demonstrations.
We also never have mass demonstrations when a black person kills a white person.
And yet interestingly, far more white people are killed by black people than vice versa.
If that's true, it suggests the racism problem is more serious than we thought; that police of all colors may be endemically racist as a group; that it's not just mainly white police.
That said, we don't see black-on-black murders of innocent people so much. This might be due the symbolism of white-on-black murders in broad daylight with onlookers. Or it might not. Regardless, it's all racism if innocent black folks are getting murdered more often.
