It's never been clear to me whether that's an indictment of police culture or of the the character of (many) young African-American males. I guess it depends who is saying it.
If you look at the recent unrest, though, cities with high black representation on their police forces have been relatively quiet (Detroit, Atlanta, Baltimore, etc.) and these are also cities where African-Americans are a larger share of the population - of a majority or close to it.
But outside of the current crisis, a high African-American presence in the police generally has not led to lower violent crime rates. Most of these cities, even though blacks control and run the police force to a large degree, have sky-high murder rates.
And in terms of police brutality, there have been cases involving black officers for sure. The Freddie Gray death in Baltimore involved 3 or 4 black officers if I recall.

It's a complete pile of nonsense.
We got rid of religion, we have entire generations of people who only understand pleasure as the only good.
They see subordination of any kind as a form of pleasure denial. It is no surprise that men/fathers/conservatives/cops are viewed upon as evil because they deny pleasure. This becomes especially true when you have populations of people who's fathers have been parentally castrated, by divorce, matriarchy, going to prison, lazy fathers etc.
People who are advocating for pleasure are good people who are against it are bad.
This idea these people are bothered by unfairness is a complete crock of shit.
In real terms people aren't jealous of queens kings and royals their status detaches them from being part of a persons reality.
People are jealous of their peers. This is why the phrase "they don't care about poor people, they hate rich people" exits.
It only make sense that if you have black cops direct peers of the criminals that it will only increase the resentment not decrease it.
If a person isn't in your social hierarchy you really can't be bothered by their success. Which is why high school reunions make most people wanna puke. While in contrast going to a rock concert/hockey game with have the reverse affect. When you are exposed to someone who's above outside your hierarchy it bizarrely unifies you with the people in your own.
Instead of dealing with feelings of jealously in much the same way you might deal with feeingls of bigotry they double down.
The racism cause becomes the perfect agenda to moralize jealously.
Without jealously we would have more racism, therefore jealously is good.
It isn't any more complicated than that. The fact that you can so easily throw charges of racism at those who you are jealous of only adds to that fire.
It's a witch hunt and nothing sums it up more perfectly the phrase "systemic/institutional racism". As it is a term racism when there is absolutely zero evidence to show that it even exists. It's a word that sounds smart and it even makes sense unless you look at the data for Nigerians/AA, or Indo Canadians(poorest group in canada) versus Indo Americans(richest).
It's a moving of the goal posts used to justify hate based politics.
The obvious thing to mention is that it doesn't apply to all.
No more than most conservatives are all that racist.
However unlike the right the left has no mechanism to deal with these corrupters and are in fact taking the lead from these people.
Ironically I think it is a reason moral leftists are so paranoid of the right, they see what is happening in their community and assume that behind closed doors its happening on the right.
