Their mind doesnt work like yours. They see the police (a white thing) as a common enemy of their people, regardless of how justified an arrest might be. The concept of law and order eludes them.

If someone get's caught stealing for example, in their mind they think "what if that were me caught stealing? I steal stuff and that could be me in those handcuffs next time, police man bad".

Wheareas a white person might think "what if everyone stole? What would my community look like if thieves werent arrested? That man has brought himself shame by stealing. I'm glad the police are here to protect my property from thieves. Police man good".
