Police enforcing the law is not racism. Police consistently patroling a known violent neighborhood is not racism. It's called proactive law enforcement. You sound like you've been brainwashed that the Police are a bunch of evil racists looking to lock up all dark skinned people. They're not. They are good people serving their community. Just like in any organization, there are a few bad people.  Those bad people don't represent the entire organization. If violent neighborhoods aren't frequently patrolled, their problems start spilling into other communities. If letting criminals know their actions are unacceptable is considered "racism", then I fully support it.
