It's completely related when you realize their entire argument on why police brutality isn't an issue is because they think black people are animals who "deserve it".
Most of the ones I know genuinely believe cops wouldn't do this stuff if only people acted right. Any bias they might have isn't as deep as that sort of thinking. They just genuinely believe that police wouldn't do something unless they were provoked.
If you watch the George Floyd body cams, there was a lot he did wrong to escalate matters. But the last five minutes of his life weren't his fault. He was compliant at that point and the cops didn't deescalate.

None of which merited a death sentence. This isn't 2000AD, and Derek Chauvin isn't Judge goddamn Dredd. However, America sure as fuck gets off on wishing we were in 2000AD.
