If that's true, your complaint isn't with them police at all, but with the fact that "the system is rigged in deep ways against a young man of color".
To justify these protests, you would have to make the case that it's police conduct that causes black people to commit so many more crimes.
But even in your post here, you're pointing to sentencing, not policing. (Also worth noting that this doesn't explain differentials in first offense rates at all).
