I don't see how anyone can dispute that. Heck, if you want to be really specific, white anglo protestants are probably better positioned than whites of other pedigrees because of historical forms of discrimination.
But white people are not to blame for all the woes of individual African Americans. In this particular situation, it sounds to me like 2 bad guys (one white and one black) crossed paths and as a result, one ended up dead.

I bolded the part where I completely lost your point. The officer did nothing wrong, quit trying to make it out like he was a bad guy. He was attacked by someone who had early committed a violent robbery, and had to resort to killing him to protect himself. The evidence supports the exact narrative that so many people, like you, are ignoring.
