And there are still problems with some police being racist. This varies a great deal from community-to-community though.

The Super Bowl Half-Time Show was a celebration of Black Power and not so much an attack on law enforcement many of whom including some Police Chiefs are African American. Welcome to the National Black Police Association

Blacks In Law Enforcement of America – National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Professionals

Percentage of African-Americans in U.S. Police Departments Remains Flat Since 2007 - WSJ

My late brother Chuck's wife Grace is Jamaican-American so I have heard quite a bit about what it is to be Black in the US. This was an interracial marriage and they experienced quite a lot of prejudice even in the Villages from Caucasians and well as other African Americans. Grace was one of the suppliers of NAVY Seals when she was in the US Navy. She served her adopted country and still was met with racism as have her sons .
