In your hypotheticals, the doctors lose their licenses and go to jail, the tellers lose whatever certs they have and go to jail. We rarely see police go to jail for their crimes. Not to mention, Blacks have had problems with police since the first slave patrols were formed in 1704 which is the legacy from which modern policing extends.

Are you serious? There has always been a suspicion of the black community and the people in it from COINTELPRO to the modern day FBI fiction of "Black Identity Extremists"

Your whole post is a hamfisted attempt to discount the interactions between race, policing and power as well as the historical context.
