but with the way the system is set up the police force hires people based on certain attributes
like blind loyalty
so for the most part even the 'nicest' never laid an excessive hand on anybody black police officer can't (or won't) really do much for the relationship between the black community and law enforcement.

in nyc we have (had? they've been terribly silent as of late) 100 blacks in law enforcement who care

i always wondered why they stopped their number at 100 when i know its more than 100 black cops in nyc.

but that gives us a clue into the type of difference black cops really make. not much.
