Your argument is undermined by a flawed assumption:
> How can the police protect them
The goal of the kind of policing described here is not to protect the population they're harassing members of. It is to harass them to help maintain a racist status quo.
> There isn't an easy balance
This kind of enlightened centrism serves a similar purpose. Don't defend bad practices if you don't support them.

Have you got some evidence for that? The idea of systemic racism is not that. It's an emergent phenomenon that isn't driven by anyone's desire to harass people or be racist.
