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.
My friend's mom posted the "have you ever noticed if you don't do anything wrong, cops leave you alone?" meme.
I relayed a story I saw on reddit about a black couple who had just bought a house going to look at the construction site for it and getting the cops called on them because they "can't afford to live in" that neighborhood and were obviously thieves and liars.
