Re: Too far the other direction

That's not the intersectional point to make here.

Cops are too violent and incompetent and undertrained in general. Also - and separately - policing in the United States is directed much more against African-Americans than it is against the population at large. Which is why, statistically, African-Americans are killed by police at a disproportionately high rate.

It is, in fact, a classic example of what intersectionality actually does mean. You have two basic truths about American society - overmilitarized, violent, incompetent policing, and a racist power structure - and the result is that the people for whom those two things meet are treated much worse by the state.

The basic idea of intersectionality literally leads to the opposite conclusion you're using it for.
