Your spin on this is like saying because Mike Brown was a thug, all black sixteen year olds are thugs.
While I wouldn't say that all 16yo black boys are thugs, when they are almost 3 times as likely not to have a father/grow up in poverty, they certainly must be at least 3 times as likely to be thugs.
Like cops, many black boys in this country have a culture problem, that often makes them themselves a problem.
Unlike black boys, who get normally get charged to the fullest extent every time they are caught breaking the law (or have cops make up charges against them). Other officers often hide the crimes they see fellow officers commit, DA's are less likely to press charges, judges give them lesser sentences than the general public.
If there has ever been a culture of "don't snitch" its more prevalent behind the blue line.
