Even black NYPD officers are targeted by white police. Now, please tell me how this isn't a racial issue?

Reuters: Off duty, black cops in New York feel threat from fellow police
What’s emerging now is that, within the thin blue line of the NYPD, there is another divide - between black and white officers. [...] The officers said this included being pulled over for no reason, having their heads slammed against their cars, getting guns brandished in their faces, being thrown into prison vans and experiencing stop and frisks while shopping. The majority of the officers said they had been pulled over multiple times while driving. Five had had guns pulled on them.

As for your stat about black people living in/near crime ridden areas, that's also a falsehood. Well, not a falsehood so much as a very narrow view. Crime is everywhere fairly equally.The question is: what kind of crime are you talking about?
