Because while, unfortunately, black people are much more likely to be victims, THE SAME SHIT happens to white folks, Latinos, etc all the time.

I read an essay by a white veteran detailing his kid getting blasted in the temple by cops while he was in cuffs. We all know about Kelly Thomas.

Making it a race issue just fans those same flames, brings up those same nonstarters and fosters more animosity where there really doesn't need to be any. This is a citizen-vs-cop issue, a rights-vs-authority conflict. It should be framed that way and very soon.
