If the comment isn’t being denied as jest than the rest of your statement is clearly BS. Joking doesn’t make anything fact, it doesn’t mean that he won’t protect a black person or even make the same joke to them and change the race " We only kill white people ". It doesn’t validate a fear, it validates the media portrayal of police violence against black people.
I suppose you are one of those people who believe that the prison system is made up of a majority of black people because police are racist? That they didn’t actually commit whatever crime they are convicted of?
There are definitely instances where the police act out of fear and kill someone for no reason, it happens to all races. When you look at high crime rate areas though, most of them are inner cities with a higher black population. Take a city like Chicago, how many murders this week? How many of those murders happened in predominantly black neighborhoods? I suppose it’s some white guy going around killing people in black neighborhoods, or maybe the cops just targeting that area for no reason. I’m not saying that all races don’t commit crime or that all black people are criminals. I do however refuse to dismiss the fact that areas with predominantly black population seem to be areas with the highest crime rates, Baltimore and Chicago for instance.

I don't care how many blacks commited how many crimes, it still does not give any cop the right to kill someone because of their skin color alone. If we're going to hold things against entire races for what they did in the past, then we should lock up every white person right now.

He joked about it. You mentioned we should throw every white in jail... Not too different in my eyes. Both inappropriate comments. The police officer is simply in a place of power which does make it more inappropriate. He won't and shouldn't get fired for this.
