There is a popular narrative that "systemic" racism lies behind every police interaction with Black civilians in America. It's wrong, and its impact is not only bad for Black communities -- it is also very bad for American Jews. Unfortunately, it is a message that Jews nationwide are rallying behind, and has negatively affected how people think about race in academia, business, international relations, and beyond -- making it more acceptable to discriminate against and assault Jews, who may eventually find fewer police officers around to protect them.
