Cop on civilian violence isn't a blacks only thing, it's just no one covers stories unless the victims just happen to be black. Black on white murder is higher than white on black, too. There does need to be something done about overzealous cops, but to completely ignore the other issues within the black community isn't going to help them. Those things aren't going to go away by ignoring them.

And is there a reason not to focus on dealing with the cops first? One problem at a time is how many things get solved, while keeping the rest in mind for later. Widespread crime, socio-economic and cultural problems such as you describe aren't exactly the quickest things to shift, and if crime is the main problem then it actually makes sense to clean up the cops first, to ensure that cleaning the rest up is an exercise in actual law rather than an unequal state-backed exercise in gang warfare.

Telling people not to focus on the problem at hand (and given recent events this problem is at hand, for better or worse) because there are bigger ones around it actually does very little to help. Sort one problem out first, make sure the very process of solving problems from here out has a chance of being fair, and then you can start thinking about the many other ones.
