Does it matter....? We're discussing problems with the police force, not an individual potential racist. I think it;s amusing that you reference the big picture all while trying to needle in on something that avoids the only thing the big picture -could- refer to.
Ask yourself this...if it turned out that every black man shot by cops was shot by a black cop.........would that make the situation seem more or less sinister, more or less explicable? Howabout the other way round? All blacks shot were shot by white cops? Obviously, it wouldn't change the fact that blacks are shot at rates many times greater than whites...which is the fucking problem in the first place...not the colors of the officers that shoot people.
