It's tribalism to ignore the fact that others are affected by the same problem. Police rarely face serious consequences regardless of race.

The historical context may justify the tribalism in some eyes, but it may also blind those eyes to the larger problem that affects everyone.

I guess the difference is that white people don't care as much when a white person is murdered by a cop. We distance ourselves from it and try to rationalize it.
No one is ignoring that. You’re upset with something that isn’t happening.
