Right, but the problem is that consequences for a cop shooting a black person for dating a white girl don't seem to be the same as the consequences for homicide

  Can you cite a case where this happened and the consequences were unreasonably light?

    There's stuff all the time: https://eji.org/news/alabama-attorney-general-releases-white-police-officer-convicted-of-killing-unarmed-black-man/ https://eji.org/news/alabama-attorney-general-releases-white... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unarmed_African_Americans_killed_by_law_enforcement_officers_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unarmed_African_Americ... Or here's a case where 6 officers collude to torture 2 black people to death (https://apnews.com/article/mississippi-deputies-guilty-pleas-civil-rights-e4937b4cd1d2ed2388b2fd1c3aeefcb9 https://apnews.com/article/mississippi-deputies-guilty-pleas...). Surely they'll get a real sentence now that it's news, but it makes you wonder how many cases never get identified as racially-based when the investigators are the perpetrators. And boy it sure does seem odd that further south you go the more of a problem it is... I wonder what could explain that phenomenon....
