I think this statement proves you are naive about the American context...
If you want an non-racial example...look at the 'civil forfeiture' problem in the US. Cops can pull you over, seize whatever they want (justifying that it 'could' be related to crime) and that asset is used to subsidize the operation of the police department.
Its effectively institutionalized piracy...
Black men (and others) have legitimate reason to fear for their lives (and property) when dealing with a (subset) of the police in the US. Its bad...and the increased militarization (and piss poor training) of the American police forces is not helping
